Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) officially remains the WBC world heavyweight champion, but retains his decision to end his career, which he announced immediately after the fight with Deontay Wilder (42-2-1, 41 KOs).
“There are seven billion people in the world and I am the fucking heavyweight champion and I am number one. Of all these people, I am the biggest, fattest, ugliest bastard on the planet. For more than thirteen years of my professional career, I have traveled the world, met and defeated everyone. They all died with this fat man from the northern part of England, ”said in his style the “King of the Gypsies”, who overthrew Vladimir Klitschka in his arena in Germany, and Wilder with him in America.
“The Wilder trilogy gave me food for thought. After the last fight, bumps the size of a fist appeared on the back of my head. I was confused, I didn't remember much. In the end, I thought maybe it was time to leave,” Fury admitted.
Recall that the giant from Manchester dominated and knocked out Dillian Whyte in the sixth round at the end of April. Prior to that, he announced that this would be the last official performance of his career and, at best, he would return only for exhibition fights.
