Tyson Fury has claimed his fight with Dillian Whyte will be his last.

Fury will put his heavyweight world title on the line for the second time when he meets Whyte at Wembley on April 23.

And he claims he will bow out of the sport after the final bell - without fighting Oleksandr Usyk or Anthony Joshua.

"This is the final fight of my career, I'm retiring after this," he told reporters. "$150million in the bank, healthy, young, I'm going to buy a massive yacht abroad. I'm retiring, I'm out, this is my final fight, I'm done."

Fury has made similar claims before and is unlikely to officially retire, regardless of the result against Whyte.

The Londoner refused to appear at Tuesday's press conference, preferring to remain in Portugal where his training camp is based.

Sounds like typical talk guys do when they want to posture for a contract
 
Yeah this is just negotiation posturing.

If he actually did retire who would you all want Ngannou to box?
 
I am assuming when he fights Francis. It is towards his retirement anyways
 
Classic boxing, never getting the fights we want. HW a few years ago was so damn exciting, with so many possible match ups...

Wilder vs Joshua
Wilder vs Ruiz
Fury vs Ruiz
Fury vs Joshua

Now throw Usyk in the mix. Instead, we got a bunch of rematches and fighters ducking each other lol

Ngannou won't touch Fury. If he can't touch Gane, what in the world does he have a chance of touching Fury? It'd be a homicide.
 
I don't think Usyk will ever be able to defend his titles anyways with all that Russian domination happening overseas.
 
Fury already claimed that it would be easy money fighting Francis and will do minimal and no training for it. I doubt he would turn down millions of dollars for something he called a tune up fight
 
Yeah, I’m fine with that. Gtfo. You are nothing to me if you don’t want to compete in the UFC. I hope he gets paid and is NEVER mentioned in any GOAT talks. A whining, crying, diva of the highest order.

What serious BOXING fan would pay two cents to watch this?

He would probably still come out making more money then staying in ufc
 
I’m sorry but I have ZERO respect for somebody like Ngannou that wants to box.. but never fucking boxed. A fucking diva of the highest order only trying to cash in. My biggest wish is that he leaves the UFC and he never gets that big money boxing match.

He’s a one dimensional fighter, and I don’t see why any legit boxer ever takes him seriously. Unless that’s the whole idea. Ngannou can be the HW version of Askren. But my understanding is Fury has much higher paying fights than an amateur.
 
He's already retiring? No AJ or Usyk?
That's pretty crazy, but health comes first and he's been doing this forever.

That payday for the Whyte fight sounds great, but that retirement talk could be a push to get more money out of the promoter.

Oh and for the Ngannou fight....I mean we all know what would've happened if they fought...
{<shrug}
 
Fuckin Fury man... so many great fights to make. There are 3 former and current champs in Usyk, AJ and Ruiz that we want to see him fight. All huge fights.

Throw in Fury and Wilder in the mix and there's enough amazing HW fights for the next 2 years. I'm not that into boxing but I'm sure there are some rising stars that I'm missing that might be thrown into the mix as well.

I'm sick of this "I would've beaten them all, take my word for it" type of shit that's becoming a huge trend in MMA as well.

Fuck that dude.
