- Fury talked of retirement after knocking out Dillian Whyte
- Unification fight with winner of Joshua v Uysk still on menu
Tyson Fury’s claims that he will retire following his sixth-round knockout of Dillian Whyte on Saturday have been greeted with scepticism by his family and the bookmakers, who believe he will be lured back by the opportunity to become undisputed champion.
Speaking after retaining his WBC title, Fury told reporters that planned to become only the second heavyweight champion after Rocky Marciano to retire undefeated – with his thoughts now focused more on an exhibition bout with UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou and a cameo return to WWE wrestling.
“I’ve fulfilled everything I’ve ever wanted to fulfil,” Fury told reporters. “I’m going to be the second heavyweight in history after Rocky Marciano to retire undefeated. I’ve won every belt there is to win. If this was a computer game it would definitely be completed for sure.”
