Tyson Fury is adamant that his stunning knockout victory over Dillian White is his last fight and insists that money will not be a factor in keeping him in boxing.
However, Fury’s wife, Paris, believes that a reunion may tempt the champion to return to the ring, suggesting that the potential undisputed clash with the winner of the rematch between Alexander Usik and Anthony Joshua may see him for the last time.

Usik, who will then have a rematch with Joshua, currently holds the WBA, WBO and IBF titles, while Fury has the WBC belt.

Prior to his WBC heavyweight title bout with Dillian White, Fury was adamant that this would be his last bout and he confirmed his retirement at the press conference after the bout in a candid speech.
“I enjoyed my career.” said Fury. “It was a fantastic career and I’m 34 now and every good dog has a day.
“There is a lot of money to earn, but for me I came from hell, from nothing. It’s never about money, I’m not a money man, I drive around with a 07 ′ Passat.
“I don’t care what I have, it’s never been about money for me. I know a lot of people with money, big money, but none of them are happy, none of them, and I know that money can’t make you happy.
“For me, it wasn’t even about belts, it wasn’t about heritage, it wasn’t about anything but piercing the face of frost right at night. That’s all there was to it.
“All I want to do is win… Money is beautiful, it’s great to get paid for what you do. I like boxing, I was good at it and I was paid for it, but that’s not all and it’s not the end of everything. ”

Fury smiled at the press conference after the match, where he confirmed his retirement from boxing
Instead of avoiding the blows, he looks forward to running to school and driving to the trash. He is happy with his fate and his wife Paris is also happy.
“The world has seen him do enough. He is the best and he proved it again, “she told talkSPORT.
Asked if she wanted him to finish now, Paris replied: “Yes. I don’t like it a bit, the holiday moment is great, but the whole accumulation and battle is a terrible experience.
“I prefer him to be home now. He has nothing else to prove in this whole world. “
However, there was a condition that could change that, as she later pointed out.

Lewis was the last man to be the undisputed heavyweight champion and is widely considered one of the best of all time.
“I know in my heart that the only reason Tyson is back is for a unification battle,” Paris told BT Sport.
That would be the only reason there was nothing left for him.
The reunion would likely mean a potential undisputed battle with the winner of the rematch between Usik and Joshua, a prospect that former undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis also embraced.
Lewis is the last undisputed champion of the division and tweeted: “Great performance of Tyson Fury tonight. This definitely keeps him a man of victory.
“He is already in a very exclusive boxing club, but I look forward to welcoming him to the undisputed club. Lets do it!”
Great show from @Tyson_Fury tonight. This definitely keeps him a man of victory. He is already in a very exclusive boxing club, but I look forward to welcoming him to the #undisputed club. Lets do it! 👊🏾💥💪🏾 #BTSportBoxing

Former Fury coach Ben Davison told talkSPORT that if this was his last match as a professional, then he is honored to have been part of his promotion.
“If this is his last match, thank you for giving me the opportunity to work with him,” he said from his ring in the comment booth.
“The trust you gave me to be a part of this return. A special experience that will go down in history.
“Whether he does it or not [retire], he proved to be the best of his era. No one will compete with these victories – Wladimir Klitschko, Deontay Wilder and the way he defeated Dillian White.
