‘He’s not done yet!’ – John Fury expects Tyson Fury to fight again despite latest retirement promise

John Fury has cast doubt on Tyson Fury’s most recent retirement vow, insisting the undefeated heavyweight is ‘not done yet’.

‘The Gypsy King’ once again announced his retirement from boxing last week after ‘long, hard conversations’ over his future.

Fury reaffirmed that decision by vacating The Ring Magazine belt, which will now be on the line on Saturday night when Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua meet in their IBF, WBO and WBA title rematch in Saudi Arabia.

The 34-year-old has been given until 26 August to make a final decision over vacating the WBC title – handing him the chance to watch Usyk vs Joshua II unfold before finalising his next move.

Fury has been widely tipped to meet the winner of Saturday’s showdown to crown the heavyweight division’s first undisputed champion since Lennox Lewis.

And while he insists he is done with the sport, John Fury insists his son ‘can’t live without boxing’.

‘Tyson’s his own man, what he says today, might not be the case next week,’ Fury exclusively told Metro.co.uk courtesy of Freebets.com.

‘He just doesn’t function right if he doesn’t train every day. It’s food for his mind and his body and whatever he wants to do.

‘So, you know what, if he keeps going to the gym twice a day, he’s going to want to do something at the end of it. You can’t train like that and not for something.

‘We all want to keep fit, we know it’s good for us, but he likes to train twice a day. So, if he’s going to keep sparring with these young lads, you might as well get paid for it. From my view, he’s not done yet, no.’
