‘I’m Out’: Tyson Fury Admits He Has One Year Left in Boxing Before Retiring

Published 12/07/2021, 3:54 AM EST

Tyson Fury is the finest heavyweight of this era for all the reasons in this world. The big man from Britain has proved his mettle to one and all, after beating every opponent he has faced. However, out of all his wins, his most special performances came in against the intimidating Deontay Wilder.

Post the fight, he hinted at retirement and he now spoke about the same again. In a chat with iFL TV, ‘The Gypsy King’ said, “Me being a good dog, my day is nearly over. 33-year-old. I’ve been through hell and back ballooned up and down from 28 stone, back up and down, all my life you know. I haven’t got a 40-year-old career in me. I’ve got maybe another year or so left and that’s it. Another couple of fights and I say I’m out.”

“What have I got to prove? I’ve got nothing to prove, I’ve got nothing to finalize of anybody. Also, what I want to do is enjoy what I’ve done now, and that’s it.” Fury later added.

Ever since his dominant win over Wilder in October this year, Fury remained assertive about signing off from the sport. However, fans want him to beat two more opponents and become undisputed before he retires.
