The boxing world was in shock and in disappointment as the biggest heavyweight champion of this era, Tyson Fury announced his retirement. At the age of 20, the fighter made his professional boxing debut in 2008. He has so far established himself as one of the greatest boxers the world has ever seen. But recently, he has revealed that he would return to boxing on one condition.

Recently, Fury stated on one of the destinations of his countrywide tour, “It’s all about money, Mr. Businessman; he’s not a fighting man. I swear to God I hope he wins the fight against Usyk so that I can come out of retirement and fight him for free. However, the terms are these; I want it at Wembley stadium. I want it free to enter and I want it on free-to-air in television in this country. I’ll fight him in England, not abroad in a foreign country for more money; here for free for the people.”
