Tyson Fury: Klitschko rematch 100% my last fight
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION Tyson Fury has insisted he will “retire 100 per cent” following his rematch with Wladimir Klitschko.
Fury stunned Klitschko in Dusseldorf last November, the Briton winning a unanimous points decision to claim the WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight belts.
A rematch clause was duly activated by Klitschko and the duo are due to meet again in Manchester on July 9. Yet Fury is adamant the bout will be his last.
The controversial 27-year-old revealed his intention to retire via his official Twitter account on Sunday.
Fury had expressed his frustration the previous evening as he attended his brother Hughie’s victory over Fred Kassi in London.
In an interview with iFL TV, he said: “I’m so sick of it [boxing]. I’ve got no motivation to carry on.
“Basically, I’m just doing this next fight to get a few quid in and that’s it really, I won’t be boxing again … I’m never going back to the gym again.
“I’ve got 10 weeks of it left and that’s it, goodnight, goodbye forever. Enjoy it while you can, that’s it. The Fury-meister is out of here, for sure. I promise, because I can’t take this anymore.”
