Tyson Fury's cornerman backs heavyweight to fight again despite retirement claim

Tyson Fury's former cutman Jorge Capetillo believes the heavyweight champion will make a retirement U-turn and fight again.

The renowned Mexican boxing coach saved Fury from suffering the sole defeat of his professional career when the Brit was badly cut against Otto Wallin in 2019. He was in the corner as Fury's cutman and managed to stop the bleeding sufficiently to prevent the fight being stopped and awarded to the Swede.

Capetillo has remained in touch with the Fury family, heading up Tyson's brother Tommy's corner during his American debut against Anthony Taylor last summer. He has moved into MMA, coaching UFC flyweight Brandon Moreno to the interim title, and this weekend working alongside Anthony Pettis in his PFL play-off fight with Stevie Ray at the Hulu Theater in Madison Square Garden.
