Tyson Fury says he will retire from boxing after his huge all-British heavyweight clash with Dillian Whyte.
The two will meet at Wembley on April 23 and could spell the end of one of the most remarkable sporting careers in British history.
Fury had his first professional fight back in 2008 in which he beat Hungarian Bela Gyongyosi, setting him up for stunning unbeaten run to have spanned well over a decade.
In 2020, Fury beat Deontay Wilder for the vacant WBC heavyweight title in the first of an era-defining trilogy of fights with the American, a famous rivalry ended when ‘The Gypsy King’ knocked Wilder out in October.
Whyte, meanwhile, did not attend the pre-fight press conference at Wembley, opting to stay at his training camp in Portugal instead.
“This is the final fight of my career, I’m retiring after this,” he said.
“$150million in the bank, healthy, young, I’m gonna buy a massive yacht abroad.
“I’m retiring, I’m out, this is my final fight, I’m done.”
