Tyson Fury to retire after Wladimir Klitschko fight

The British boxer has caused controversy with many of his views and actions, and he continues to court attention.

That could be brought to an end, as Fury claims that he will retire after his match against Klitschko he will retire from the sport.

He has already hinted that he is no longer in love with the sport, and it appears he does not have the discipline to keep in shape between fights, turning up to a pre-match press conference plainly out of shape.

However, it appears that he does at least realise that he needs to lose weight and prepare sensibly for his supposedly final match.

Fury claims that he is retiring to spend more time with his children (presumably the man on the left is not one of his kids).

"I’m well sick of boxing to be honest. I mean it. It’s all or nothing," he told iFL TV.

"As you say in poker, we’re all in. I just can’t be f***** with it, that’s the truth. I’m so sick of it. I’ve got no motivation to carry on. It’s the same stuff over and over again.

"It’s trying to take over my life and it is what it is."

OUR VIEW: Fury might have every intention of retiring after the fight, but that does not mean it will definitely happen. The decision can be reversed at any point. If Fury has planned for his future sensibly, then he will have made more than enough money to live comfortably for the rest of his life, and nobody could begrudge him wanting to spend more time with his family. However, even boxers as composed as David Haye have been unable to resist returning, and no matter how rich you are, the offer of millions of pounds for one more fight would tempt anyone. Needless to say, if he does finally retire, it might be a relief to the public and press to no longer feel obliged to report his press conferences.
