She does not see a point in her husband taking up fight after fight. She believes he has proven everything that was there to be proven. She wants him home with their family now. “I wanted him to retire a few years ago. He isn’t doing it. You saw it well documented on the documentary that he didn’t enjoy it. He doesn’t like being retired. But I’m hoping after Usyk that’s the end of the fight. I’m hoping that’s the end of it…… What more could he prove? What more can he do?” lamented Paris Fury.
After being reminded about the rematch clause, she remarked saddeningly, “You just deflated my evening completely for now and I ain’t lying.” The interviewer tried to console her, but the damage was already done.
