Tyson Fury has emphatically dispelled rumors of his retirement from boxing, asserting that he’s currently in the prime of his career. Amidst speculation surrounding a potential end to his boxing journey, fueled by doubts over the legitimacy of an eye injury he sustained during sparring, Fury has instead outlined ambitious plans for the future, including a five-fight roadmap.
The 35-year-old was forced to postpone his highly anticipated unification bout with Oleksandr Usyk due to the eye injury, pushing the event from its initial February 17 slot to May 18. Fury, however, remains undeterred, emphasizing his commitment to the sport and his upcoming clashes.
Addressing speculation about his retirement on social media, Fury proudly displayed the cut above his right eye, affirming, “I ain’t retiring.” He revealed his intention to engage in not one, but potentially two bouts against Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight title, setting the stage for a monumental showdown in the division.
Fury currently holds the WBC heavyweight title, while Usyk boasts the WBA, IBF, and WBO belts. Their clash promises to be a historic moment in boxing, with the victor set to become the first undisputed fighter in the division since Lennox Lewis in 2000.
But Fury’s ambitions extend beyond his impending battle with Usyk. He’s eyeing a blockbuster showdown with fellow Brit, Anthony Joshua, in a fight that has long been anticipated by fans. Despite previous attempts falling through, Fury remains determined to make the matchup a reality, outlining his plans for a post-“Ring of Fire” event in Riyadh.
“I’m going to fight AJ,” Fury declared, hinting at the possibility of a rematch should the first encounter warrant it. Beyond Joshua, Fury has his sights set on a rematch with Francis Ngannou, hinting at a diverse and exciting lineup of future bouts.
With a clear vision for his future in the ring, Fury asserts, “I ain’t going nowhere; I’m 35-years-old and in the prime of my life.” As he recuperates from his injury and gears up for the challenges ahead, boxing fans can eagerly anticipate the next chapter in the remarkable career of Tyson Fury.
