Warren: Why do you need a Tyson belt?

A few days ago, WBC boss Mauricio Suleiman told Sky Sports that he would try to contact Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) this week to make sure that the King of the Gypsies, the heavyweight champion, really wants to end his sports career. However, according to promoter Frank Warren, at the moment the Briton is not obliged to make any formal decisions, and nothing threatens his champion status, despite open statements about leaving the sport.

“Why do they need a Tyson belt? He has no obligations for the championship now. He could have been stripped of his title if he hadn't made the mandatory defense, which he did," Fury's promoter explained.

“I don’t see any reason for this, because now he doesn’t owe anything, so what to talk about? Of course, he can suddenly say: “I leave the belt vacant!” He can do this, but no one else can tell him what to do. Just him and his wife Paris," Warren added.

Meanwhile, the statistical portal BoxRec, after Fury's statements in the media, the day before yesterday "completed" Fury's sports career, recognizing him as an inactive boxer and excluding him from his rating.
