It seems odd that Fury would consider retirement during this stage of his career as the boxer is currently undefeated and is still not past his prime. Moreover, he has yet to achieve the undisputed champion status as he only holds the WBC title, the other three being in possession of Oleksandr Usyk. This makes it hard for fans and analysts to accept that he would retire right now, but by the looks of it, he is not set to make a return anytime soon.
