Tyson Fury has announced his retirement (once again), but a millionaire temptation can change his mind

The one who burns with milk sees a cow and cries. That’s why it’s hard to believe that Tyson Fury’s words will be tied to facts that back them up. For now, the heavyweight champion of the world World Boxing Council confirmed his retirement from pro sports on Friday four months after announcing it and after flirting with returning to the ring multiple times during that time, most recently just three days ago.

“A huge thank you to everyone who has contributed to my career over the years. After long discussions, I finally decided to quit and on my 34th birthday I say: ‘Have a nice trip'”Fury wrote on his Twitter and Instagram accounts. next to a photo where he was seen hugging SugarHill Steward, his latest trainer.

This message would only ratify something that the King of the Gypsies He announced it on April 23 in the ring set up at Wembley Stadium, where he had knocked out Jamaican Dillian Whyte in the sixth round in the second defense of his second heavyweight reign a few minutes earlier.

“After the third fight against (Deontay) Wilder, I promised my lovely wife it would be like this, but I felt I owed it to every single person here at Wembley to get on with this fight. Now I have to be a man of my word and say that’s all. This is the last fight of my career. I have 150 million in the bank, I look good, healthy and young.the British had argued after that fight.

In any case, in that same interview he had left open the possibility of doing an exhibition with the Cameroonian Francesco NgannouHeavyweight Mixed Martial Arts Champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). “I want to have fun and have fun. Ngannou is on my hit list. I can have it in a ring, in a cage, with boxing gloves or with MMA gloves. you can pass “he had warned.

Despite the announcement of his retirement, Fury has not given up (nor has yet) the WBC belt at the time. “I have 12 months to do it. I will keep it as long as possible. I’ll keep it in my trouser pocket for as long as I want. “, insured in June. And for the first time he opened the door to return, even though he put a price on it: $ 500 million. “If they want me to fight again, it will cost them a lot of money”he warned.

The squabbles over a possible return to the ensogados did not stop there. A little over two weeks ago, the Englishman revealed he was in talks to hold a match in November at a London football stadium against the Icelandic actor. Hafþór Júlíus Björnssonthat he embodied The mountain in the Game of Thrones series. “It would be great to go there in front of 70,000 fans and show him what boxing is, make him fail and knock him out. It’s something that certainly interests me. “held.

Not satisfied with that, Fury, who has a professional record of 32 wins (23 before the limit) and 1 draw, suggested on Tuesday that he would abandon his retirement status to face Zimbabwean veteran Derek Chisora ​​for a third time. he beat on points in July 2011 and by TKO in November 2014. Now that idea seems to have been left behind after the announcement of the new retreat made on Friday.

However, there is a hook that may change your mind once again: a fight for the undisputed heavyweight crown. This could begin to take shape after the confrontation in which Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk will exhibit his World Boxing Association, International Boxing Federation and World Boxing Organization belts against Englishman Anthony Joshua on Saturday 20 August in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia). Arabia).

“I think Fury will see what happens in the fight between Usyk and Joshua and then decide what to do. I think he will come back because he is a fighter and he will miss not doing it.predicted the promoter Frank Warrenone of the names that made up the long list of thanks that the world champion has included in the post with which he announced his farewell this Friday.
