    Fury has nothing else but boxing, he's already said as much, and when he packs it in he knows he'll probably balloon back up and get back on the party powder.
    I hope what you say is not true but given my experience with human nature it is a definite possibility.

Fury is a but of a fraud in terms of resume. This would finally be his chance to back it all that talk - let's see if he takes the hard fights or runs.
      Fury’s resume is definitely based more on big wins against top guys (Wlad, Wilder) than consistently beating the best of the rest (Like Joshua before his loss to Andy Ruiz). Ultimately it’s a question of what you value more. Is it winning a few super fights or a string of wins against the lower half of the top 10?

        Tyson Fury & Prince Naseem Hamed have similar characters. Like Prince Naseem Hamed, once Fury loses 'I think he will retire no long after'.

        If Fury had endured Joshua's career and loses, I don't think he would be in the game.
        The only notable achievement on Fury's record is beating a 8-years past his prime W Klitschko and someone that can't box twice. That's literally it.

        He may be the 'best of an era' but what a poor era it is. WK has a far greater record and would have destroyed Fury if there wasn't a 10-year age gap when they fought.

          Your Post is Total Rubbish
          Fixed Fights?
          I guess all 3 Tyson vs Wilder fights were Fixed also
          Smh

            You don't determine someone's prime, who are you, his doctor? And it isn't about age, nor is everyone prime the same nor at the same time. You're ignorant about biology and nutrition apparently.This is 2021. Stop being foolish. No version of Wlad beats Fury. He's levels above most people in the history of the sport but you'll reach for any straw to argue he's overrated because for some unknown reason, Fury being #1 genuinely affects you.

              If he recognizes that it helps keep him healthy and his mind in the right place, for himself and those he loves, I see no reason why Fury doesn't keep boxing, probably well into his 40s.

              Hes tasted success and money and felt hollow within. And he loves boxing he isn't in it just for the money. I think he sticks around.

                You heard it here first folks - there is no prime age bracket for athletic sports. 'Prime' age for a fighter is when someone on the internet says so, not the general rule that has existed for boxing, athletic sports and generally life for over 100 years that says past 30-32 humans start declining physically.

                You deserve a phD off the back of this bombshell insight alone.

                  He's not going to retire yet, still has more asses to kick. Only guy really left is Usick. I doubt Joshua wins the rematch

                    It was unfortunate that a champion over almost 10 years, was denied a rematch 'Due to Fury's issues'.

                    I have always been adamant that Wladimir Kiltschko, would of beaten Fury in the rematch.

                    Kronk Fury is in many ways a regressed fighter, he may well of been stopped by the Wladimir Kiltschko who fought David Haye.

                    Tyson Fury is ranked number 1, but he is no longer better than his competitors by miles. Fights that would of been easy for him under Peter Fury, are now difficult.

                    Stylistically Wilder would of been a easy fight for Fury under Peter Fury, or at-least easier.

                    Overall from this point on wards, I envision a road full of tough fights for Tyson Fury. I don't think his recent performance vs Wilder has struck fear into the division.

                    Tyson Fury is right there to be hit, and does not used movement like he used to anymore 'As a fighter, I honestly don't think he is hard to solve'.

                    Deontay Wilder for all his lack of elite technically ability, showed the world and other fighters in the heavyweight division. That Tyson Fury is not untouchable, you can find him inside the boxing ring, and you can get to him.

                      His current mood reads that he feels burdened by boxing. He's an old soul and already has had a long, storied career. I think boxing fans want him to glow up and keep going forth as this bigger than life character, but ultimately I think his family will draw him away from the limelight.
