Hearn predicts Fury will retire after fights with Joshua

Eddie Hearn believes Tyson Fury will retire once he’s had two fights with Anthony Joshua, despite Fury claiming he wants to beat everyone in the division, reports metro.co.uk.

Fury had previously outlined plans to retire once he had fulfilled his contractual obligations, which included a trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder and a potential heavyweight unification bout with Joshua.

However, he appeared to have performed a U-turn and suggested there are nine other heavyweights he’d be up for fighting after facing Joshua.

‘I’ve been thinking about it and initially I had three fights left on my contract, I’ve got two fights left on it now, I’ve got Wilder and Joshua, but I’m just going to keep going because there’s nothing else to do is there really?’ said Fury.

‘For me, I’m 31 years old, fit as a fiddle, in great mental spirits, I train three or four times a day for bants, and it’s like, “what else am I going to do with my life?”
