Tyson Fury to be set deadline to decide boxing future after Dillian Whyte KO

Tyson Fury will be given several weeks to decide whether he wants to vacate his heavyweight title and retire from the sport after knocking out Dillian Whyte.

The 'Gypsy King' scored a stoppage victory over Whyte at Wembley last weekend before announcing his plans to retire in the ring. Fury retained his WBC heavyweight title and could face the winner of Anthony Joshua's rematch with Oleksandr Usyk for all four belts later this year.

Fury will be asked to decide if he wants to vacate the belt or if he wants to keep his title and wait for the winner of Joshua's second meeting with Usyk. However, WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman will give Fury time to contemplate his future.
