The head of the WBC, Mauricio Suleiman, said he did not intend to put any pressure on Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) to give up the heavyweight championship belt after the media announced his retirement.
“Now we will give him the time he needs to rest and think. He just passed the mandatory defense, and it is useless to rush and put pressure on him or his team to make any decisions,” said the president of the World Boxing Council. — We will keep in touch. Now Tyson is resting with his family. And I'm not saying that he will receive, for example, three months for a decision - there is no limit. I respect Fury, his personal time, and we will definitely talk to him in the future."
“We need to figure out whether Tyson is really retired or not, but now we are going to give him as much time as he needs so that he can enjoy his vacation,” Suleiman added.
