Fury: My father wanted me to retire six years ago

April 8, 2026|1 day ago| 1 min read|Source: Sky Sports Boxing| 0 comments

Tyson Fury has revealed his father, John Fury, urged him to retire from boxing as far back as six years ago, a sentiment he dismisses as irrelevant to his current career. Despite this ongoing criticism from his own corner, the WBC heavyweight champion remains undeterred as he prepares for his highly anticipated clash against Arslanbek Makhmudov. Fury is clearly focused on the task at hand, brushing off family opinions to concentrate on his next title defence.
