WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is still fresh in the active title race and is undoubtedly sitting on the throne of his division. Having beaten Deontay Wilder twice in a row, Fury’s next fight can see him go against a bigger underdog as the division is lacking to offer adequate challengers to ‘The Gypsy King’.

A few years back, several people saw Anthony Joshua as an antidote to Fury’s dominance. But after AJ’s losses against Andy Ruiz Jr. and Oleksandr Usyk, he also appears as an underdog before the mighty Tyson Fury. Well, 33-year-old Fury may not hang around for many more years, and if that happens, promoter Frank Warren has already predicted the WBC champion to become a trainer or manager.

Warren said, “Tyson did well with him [for the Chisora fight]. Eventually I wouldn’t be surprised if Tyson becomes a coach. Boxing ends for everyone eventually and Tyson needs some interest in his life. I think he would be an excellent trainer or manager.” (H/T:- Boxing Scene)
