Tyson Fury’s Promoter Unsure What’s Next After Usyk Fight Fizzles, Says Fury May ‘Retire’
Tyson Fury‘s promoter, Frank Warren isn’t sure what is next for Tyson Fury.
Fury and Oleksandr Usyk were in talks to box on April 29 but recently it was announced the fight was scratched after negotiations stalled. The news was disappointing and now after the fight fell through, Warren says he isn’t sure what is next and says that Fury may retire now.
“Tyson’s a bit [pissed off] because, obviously, he’s been in training constantly,” Warren said in an interview with SecondsOut. “He’s got his trainer in. It’s not a conversation [we’ve had yet.] Everything’s too raw at the moment. We’ll work it out. Listen, he may retire – I don’t know what he wants to do. He’ll do whatever he wants to do. He’s the guy getting in the ring. Everyone sitting outside making their comments, I find it quite insulting. Tyson Fury who went to Germany, done all the things that Usyk done, beat the best guy of his generation (then champion Wladimir Klitschko), went to America and beat the hardest punching guy (Deontay Wilder).
Frank Warren is also frustrated with Oleksandr Usyk and calls him a hypocrite for saying he didn’t care about money but now has pulled out of the fight.
“I genuinely thought he said what he wanted – he don’t care about money, he just wants to fight for the four belts,” Warren said. “But he pulled out of the fight. You can dress it up, slag off me, slag off Tyson Fury. They. Pulled. Out.”
As of right now, Tyson Fury has yet to say what his plan is but whatever he decides to do, Warren says he will support him. But, they are both frustrated the fight on April 29 against Usyk did not come to fruition.
Do you think we will see Tyson Fury fight again?
