Tyson Fury claimed the WBC heavyweight title in February.
Tyson Fury insists he has no intention of hanging up his gloves any time soon. The lineal heavyweight champion completed a fairytale comeback story in February when he dethroned Deontay Wilder to claim the WBC title in Las Vegas.
Furyās seventh-round TKO victory over the previously undefeated Wilder saw him claim the sole title that had him.
Despite having completed the heavyweight title set, Tyson Fury is far from content with his achievements inside the ring.
Retirement, however, is certainly not on the mind of āThe Gypsy Kingā, who is hoping to become undisputed heavyweight champion before itās all said and done.
āWhy walk away when Iām still only young?ā Fury asked during an interview with Sky Sports.
āHopefully I box until I have a good sit down with all the team and we all decide itās time to walk away, while Iām on top, and then sail away into the sunset, and then who knows what will happen after that.ā
Fury foresees himself reigning over the heavyweight division for several years, much like Wladimir Klitschko did before he came unstuck against the Brit in November 2015.
He said: āIāve achieved more than any active heavyweight alive today. No-one can come close to what Iāve achieved.
āIām happy with where I am in my career and what Iām doing. If I never have another boxing fight, Iāll be happy. Iāve completed the game.
āIāve won every single belt in boxing. From the English title to becoming the undisputed heavyweight champ of the world. All done, all finished.
āConsidered the best, done. If I donāt box again, Iām happy, but if I do box again, then I continue to box.
āIf we get past this thing, which hopefully we will, then weāre going to keep boxing and just keep taking on contenders.
āKlitschko did it until he was 40. A lot of the great champions are continuing and continuing.
āI aināt boxing for money, I aināt boxing for fame, I aināt boxing for a belt. Iām boxing because it keeps me mentally happy and I like to do it.
āNothing to prove to anybody. Not one thing to prove at all, but I box now because I love boxing and Iāve been doing it all my life.ā
Furyās next outing is expected to be a trilogy fight with Wilder, which is expected to take place in Las Vegas.
The pair were set to renew their rivalry in July but had their third encounter postponed until October due to the coronavirus outbreak.
