Tyson Fury vowed to retire immediately after securing a knockout win to defeat Dillian Whyte and retain his WBC title - but the Gypsy King’s promoter Bob Arum has refused to throw in the towel on the boxer’s iconic career just yet.
Fury dominated the scrappy bout and then struck a powerful right uppercut to secure the sixth-round stoppage in front of a sold-out Wembley Stadium. Whyte attempted to continue after getting to his feet, but the referee intervened after the 34-year-old failed to maintain his balance.
And when asked if Fury had fought his last bout, Arum told USA Today Sports : "No, he definitely won’t retire. Of course not. Are you crazy? We’ll have plenty of time to talk everything out."
