Unbeaten British heavyweight Tyson Fury (24-0, 18KOs) has vowed to retire is he's unable to defeat WBO/IBO/WBA/IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-3) on October 24th in Dusseldorf, Germany.
Fury has stopped his last four opponents, but none of them are close to Klitschko's level. The champion fought in April, when he won a twelve round unanimous decision over Bryant Jennings.
Fury is banking his future on Klitschko's age. He feels Wlad was starting to unravel and lose some physical steam in the Jennings defense.
The champion is confident of adding Fury's name as another victory to his long streak. Klitschko has remained without a loss since April of 2004.
"If I can't beat Wladimir, who is old in boxing terms at 39 [years-old] - I won't carry on, as I won't be as good as I thought, bum city," Fury wrote on the social networks.
