Via Brian Webber: SugarHill coach Steward said Tyson Fury is retired and he won’t say anything different from what he has told the media.
The way SugarHill smiles when asked if WBC heavyweight champion Fury will return to the ring for the title shows that he won’t retire.
In other words, Fury’s retirement is just one of his jokes. With that said, if IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk beats Anthony Joshua in a rematch scheduled for July 23, Fury will most likely retire.
It is believed that ‘The Gypsy King’ Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) is only interested in fighting superstar Joshua, not Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs), who is nowhere to be known. , and having a tough style would be a headache for Tyson.
Fury can probably still make more money fighting Joshua next, even if he loses his July rematch to Usyk. There will be worldwide interest in the Joshua vs. Fury is more than a fight featuring the cunning unification champion Usyk.
“Look, Tyson Fury is 6’9″, 270 pounds. He’s bigger than me. I’m 5’9”, 175, and I’m not going against him,’ SugarHill Steward said. iFL TV, when asked if Tyson Fury will retire. “He’s retired, he’s retired. I wouldn’t say anything different.
“Are you trying to catch me with one of those shots that I can’t see? Since he’s learned how to set them up and power them up, I’m not going to take a dose of my own,” SugarHill said of whether Fury will continue his career.
Fury didn’t give his WBC belt to the World Boxing Council, which is meant to let you know that he’s not serious about retiring. Does Fury make more money? Some would say that Fury’s whole game with his retirement talk is to try and make more money when he gets back in the ring.
While Fury says he’s not interested in money, the fact that he’s interested in fighting UFC heavyweight Francis Ngannou would suggest the opposite.
If Usyk defeats Joshua, it’s possible that Fury will retire because there are too many risks when he faces the undefeated three-belt champion. Additionally, Fury can make more money fighting Ngannou and other UFC heavyweights without risking a loss on his résumé.
“I don’t know,” SugarHill said when asked if Fury would choose to fight for the undisputed heavyweight championship if an offer was made for him.
“It was, and it made him very frustrated, depressed and mentally challenged when there were big fights going on and then being eliminated.
“So I don’t know if he wants to go through that again or is he just keeping himself out of it all together, so you don’t have to go through it,” SugarHill said.
