Tyson Fury has announced that he plans to retire after his upcoming fight with Dillian Whyte in a move which would send shockwaves around the heavyweight division. The Gypsy King was believed to be in line to fight the winner of Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk later this year in what would be a unification bout.
However, he has stated that he has no plans to do so, adding that he looks forward to retirement after facing Whyte at Wembley on April 23. Fury is finally set to face Whyte for the WBC heavyweight championship after the fight was mandated, having encountered significant delays, with purse bids being pushed back on four occasions.
An agreement was finally reached and the countdown to the fight is on - which will be Fury 's first in the UK since 2019 - after the first press conference was held on Tuesday afternoon. Speaking to the media, Fury explained why this will be the last fight of his legendary career.
