Tyson Fury reveals he has no interest in returning to the ring: 'I just don't want to'

Tyson Fury may be done for good

‘The Gypsy King’ Tyson Fury (34-2-1, 24 KO’s) has long been a polarising figure in the heavyweight scene.

Having at some point laid claim to all four belts, though never at once. He will undoubtedly go down as one of the greatest of his generation. 

Since his second and final loss to Oleksandr Usyk, the 37-year-old has shown little intention of stepping back into the squared circle. 

It has now been revealed that he may never step back in the ring again, lacking the drive to achieve anything extra in the boxing world.

"There's no actual reason for me to go back in the boxing ring," Fury told YouTube channel FurociTV. "I'm 37 years old, I've been punched for the last 25 years, what do I want to go back to boxing for?

"It used to be for the money, the titles, but now I've got more money than I can spend, I've got unlimited amounts of belts and titles, and does it make me any happier? No.

"Was the chase better than the victory? Yes. The climb was better than the mountain peak, to be fair. Always the case.

"I could go back to boxing at any given time, but I just don't want to.

"I've got no interest in that clamour or the limelight, or to go get punched again, I'm not interested, it doesn't do anything for me.

"You could offer me £1bn today, and it wouldn't move the needle, because I've gone past that point of caring about what other people think.

He wnt on to admit that he no longer sees the risk as worth the reward, acknowledging his luck at coming through is career unscathed.

"Boxing doesn't take any prisoners, it only takes casualties. So for me to be sat here, all my faculties in order, won every belt, made loads of money, and not got a scratch on me, I've done really well there.

"But I don't want to tempt fate. I don't want to keep going back and back to the well because how many times can you keep doing it without getting brain damage or whatever else? Not being able to walk in a straight line, it'd all be pointless then.”
