Tyson Fury could only be tempted to delay retirement for undisputed fight, says wife Paris

Tyson Fury will likely only be tempted to delay his retirement from boxing for a unification title bout, his wife Paris said, after the WBC heavyweight world champion retained his belt with a stunning stoppage of Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night.

Fury, who landed a right uppercut to deck Whyte in the sixth round before referee Mark Lyson waved off the bout, said in the post-fight interview and press conference that he would be sticking to his promise to Paris to retire.

Fury had said in the build-up to the fight that he had promised Paris he would hang up his gloves after his third bout with Deontay Wilder. However, the prospect of a homecoming fight in front of more than 90,000 fans in London proved too alluring to turn down.

Paris said her husband might return for an undisputed world title fight against the winner of Anthony Joshua's rematch with Oleksandr Usyk. Usyk beat Joshua in September to claim the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO belts.

"I would like him to come out now. He has nothing more to prove," Paris told BT Sport. "If he had anything left to do, I would say 'Yeah Tyson, you do it'. But he has nothing to prove.

"So unless he really wants to box on, and if he's just doing for whatever money, fame, he doesn't need that. He's the most famous man on the planet tonight.

"For Tyson to keep boxing, it just seems for one reason and I know in my heart, I think the only reason that Tyson will come back is for the unification fight."

After Saturday's victory, Fury stretched his unbeaten record to 32 wins and a draw, with 23 knockouts.
