Tyson Fury confirms retirement after Whyte KO
Initially, when the journalist asked him directly about his retirement, Fury kind of dodged the question.
Before Saturday's historic Heavyweight title fight at Wembley between Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte, the 'Gypsy King' hinted at a possible retirement from the sport after tonight.
His plan was to go all out with a memorable performance and then publicly announce his retirement.
As soon as Whyte wasn't able to continue, the chatter began running wild online.
We all wanted to know if Tyson Fury truly was going to retire, he celebrated with all his team and his wife Paris.
The announcer confirmed his win, the ref lifted his arm to confirm he remains an undefeated champion.
It was the moment of truth for everybody to hear.
Initially, when the journalist asked him directly about his retirement, Fury kind of dodged the question.
But he was pressed again and this is what he said: "You know I promised my lovely wife Paris of 14 years that after the Wilder three fight that would be it and I meant it. It was a great trilogy but I meant that. I got offered to fight at Wembley at home and I believe I owed it to the fans every person in the UK to fight at Wembley I think this is it this might be the final curtain for the Gypsy King. What a way to go out."
Agent Frank Warren was a little shocked at the scoop but he accepted it amongst a lot of jeering because Fury goes out at the top of his game.
We need to understand that Paris Fury was the one who made Tyson promise he would retire but a giant offer can still make the Fury family consider something even bigger.
Before this happens, we need to wait for the conflict in Ukraine to settle down and Oleksandr Usyk to fight that pending title rematch against Anthony Joshua.
Unifying all those belts is the only challenge left for Tyson, he probably wouldn't turn that down if the offer was the right one.
His wife would probably understand the meaning of that unification bout. That's the only way we see Tyson Fury getting back on the ring one last time.
