Carl Froch Believes Tyson Fury Has One Eye In Retirement

Carl Froch thinks Tyson Fury has one foot out the door.

Fury has been trying to secure a fight with Oleksandr Usyk, but that won’t happen, as Usyk will now face Daniel Dubois. With that, there is no clear favorite for Fury to fight next and because of that, Froch wonders if Fury is thinking about retirement.

“I think Tyson Fury has one eye on retirement. I think he’s had enough. He’s a big lad that’s got a bit of fat around him and everybody knows that he’s a bit out of shape in between fights. He then gets himself down to a reasonable weight and he really is a formidable force at heavyweight as he’s six foot nine, he’s big, he moves quick, he’s got light feet and I believe he can mix with any fighter, from any era. He’d have lasted in the 80’s and the 90’s against some of the best old school fighters such as Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield,” Froch told Betfred.

“However, they’re not fighting, it’s frustrating and the boxing fans are getting bored of it. In mixed martial arts they all fight each other because of the way it’s structured,” Froch continued. “In football, every team plays each other. In boxing, you have Tyson Fury shouting all the odds and fights aren’t happening. I don’t even believe that Anthony Joshua is interested in fighting and he’s actually said that himself, he’s doing it for the money now. If £100 million isn’t enough, then I don’t know when he’s going to stop. It’s a frustrating time to be a boxing fan. People blame it on the promoters, blame it on the television networks, but if the fighters want to fight, then the fight can be made.”

Tyson Fury has retired before, but as of right now, he hasn’t said he is retired. Instead, he is still focusing on boxing and still wants the biggest fights which are against Usyk and Anthony Joshua.
