Thompson explained why he does not plan to end his career

“It seems to me that the fighters who ended their careers at some point sat down in a chair and felt that their body was already frayed and everything was hurting. I am sitting now and I feel great. I'm very well. I feel better than I was five years ago, ”Thomspon said on his YouTube channel.

Recall that in 2021, 39-year-old Thompson had two fights, losing by unanimous decision to Gilbert Burns and Belal Muhammad.
