After an emphatic comeback win against Arslanbek Makhmudov, Tyson Fury has made it clear that unless Anthony Joshua is his next opponent, he will retire from his boxing career.
Fury returned to the 62,850 capacity Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, defeating Makhmudov by unanimous decision to mark his first fight in 16 months.
But rather than celebrating a comeback, the British heavyweight turned his attention to the British-Nigerian boxer Anthony Joshua during his post‑fight news conference.
He said, “Let’s get the fight on. Here’s the thing – if it ain’t Anthony Joshua next, I’m not interested in boxing. I’ll eat a thousand Easter eggs, go up to 35 stone. I’m out. I’m not interested.”
Fury made it clear he’s not motivated by titles, belts or rankings anymore, but only the Joshua fight will satisfy him.
