John Fury reveals the fights Tyson Fury wants before retiring from boxing

John Fury will have the opportunity to watch his son fight as a world champion from ringside for the first time on Saturday night and is hopeful that path will lead to unification against Oleksandr Usyk or Anthony Joshua.

‘The Gypsy King’ fights back in the UK for the first time since 2018 on Saturday against Dillian Whyte having travelled to Los Angeles and Las Vegas for his last five bouts – regaining his place at the summit of the sport in that time.

The 57-year-old served four of an 11-year prison in 2010 after gouging out a man’s eye in a brawl. While he was out to witness Fury’s 2015 world title victory over Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf, that spell behind bars cost him crucial years by his son’s side and also barred him from obtaining a visa to travel and watch Tyson fight in the US.

‘It means everything to me, being here for this one,’ Fury Snr told Metro.co.uk.

‘That is why we want to get it right. I just want the British public to see the best Tyson Fury, the fittest Tyson Fury, the most dangerous Tyson Fury.
