Tyson Fury's planned retirement likened to Khabib Nurmagomedov quitting UFC

Tyson Fury's plan to retire after his victory over Dillian Whyte has been compared to Khabib Nurmagomedov's when he quit the UFC in 2020.

He confirmed his plan to retire from boxing immediately after the victory which would rule out any undisputed shot against the winner of Anthony Joshua's rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.

UFC legend Chael Sonnen believes Fury could be plotting a huge comeback fight which he has claimed would be the biggest of the champion's career. "Well, I guess Tyson Fury ’s done," Sonnen said during a video on his YouTube channel. "He says that he’s retiring from boxing. And I've got to tell you, you’ll never have a bigger fight than your comeback fight.
