Tyson Fury Struggling To Get Motivated? May Quit Boxing?

By Edward Chaykovsky

IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18KOs) is always a good interview to create some shocking headlines.

In a recent interview with BBC Radio 5, Fury revealed that he is "struggling to get motivated" for a scheduled rematch with Wladimir Klitschko.

Fury shocked the world last November when he ended Klitschko decade of dominance with a twelve round unanimous decision win. The rematch is going to take place in May or June. 

The rematch was being targeted for May 7th, but is now likely to move after Amir Khan finalized a fight with Saul "Canelo" Alvarez for the same date in Las Vegas.

The reason for the struggles? Fury feels a second win over Klitschko - or anyone else for that matter - will never outdo the magnitude of last November's upset win.

"I could walk away," said Fury. "I could just sail into the sunset unbeaten with all the belts and live a normal life. All that I would be boxing for is money and I always thought to myself I never want to let sport become about money. There is life after boxing and I don't know what I'm going to do at the moment. I haven't even cemented I am going to fight a rematch."

Fury has made these types of remarks in the past. He promised to retire if Klitschko would have beaten him in their first fight.

The controversial boxer also revealed that he received a huge offer from an Abu Dhabi businessman, who wanted Fury to face Klitschko on a yacht, exclusively for 120 people paying $1 million per ticket - no TV, no cameras.

Fury turned the offer down, but he was flattered by the proposal. The first bout took place in Dusseldorf, Germany and the rematch appears to be heading back to German soil.
