‘Retirement is terrifying – but Fury’s not done’

Tyson Fury insists that he is retired. And if you think that, you probably haven’t followed him on Instagram or in boxing for long.

He might have meant it in the past. It might just be a strategy at this point. He’s not, in my opinion, finished.

The “Gypsy King” has been posting videos of his running and training to his Instagram account.

He is directing everyone in a garden path, and I believe he is aware of it from the beginning. The Fury’s Fire is still igniting.

Since I was seven years old, I’ve watched this sport countless times. Sometimes a fighter just pauses when they say they’re done. a chance to relax, unwind, and breathe. Sometimes it’s a conscious choice, sometimes based on impulse, in the heat of the moment.

When I put my gloves in the ring after falling to Anthony Cacace in September, that was the case.

That choice made me a total commitment. Both physically and mentally, I was broken. I announced my retirement to Eddie Hearn in a dollop of honor.

The longest and most agonizing drive of my life occurred the day after I left. I would go to school with my kids for the next few weeks, then go back to bed and start crying.

Because boxing was who I was, not just a job for me. When others around me didn’t have a purpose, it kept me away from trouble. That’s terrifying because that area of you suddenly vanishes.

People messaged me, even those who had already admitted they didn’t like me, warning me to keep my head up. After watching my fight, I realized it wasn’t as bad as I had anticipated. Fans from Leeds United were preventing me at the stadium and telling me I wasn’t finished.

Why don’t you just leave, you ask? It’s simple.

You don’t understand, though, unless you’ve lived it. It’s like taking a drug, with the training regimen, and the high of fight week.

Although I’ve never touched recreational items, I’m sure fight night will be a hit. It’s addictive because of the lights, the adrenaline, and the buzz.

Let’s face it, money is important. Boxing is more than just a hobby; it is also a profession. Can you change your life and the pay packets in a single punch? insane . Influencers are generating millions from novelty fights, you know.

What’s 36 minutes in the ring with eight figures in it, then, if you’re a top heavyweight like Fury?

But that’s where things get dangerous. The harm is multiplied. You are struck in the head. What does all that money mean when your words start to slurp or your reactions sluggish?

I believe that a union is necessary for boxing. The PFA (Professional Footballers’ Association) is a member of football. Nothing is available to us.

A union might be able to assist. It may provide advice on investing, or even establish retirement age restrictions. Because, let’s face it, is a 58-year-old Mike Tyson returning to the ring? That poses a health risk, not a return. Oasis is not reforming, this. People are being struck in the head in this situation.

Tyson Fury, please? He’ll return. Yes, I believe there is a Anthony Joshua conflict. Too big to ignore. Two unbeaten heavyweights fighting for all the belts may not be what it once could have been, but it still matters. Still, there is legacy and pride.

Fury might need a tune-up or he might jump in with no effort.

In any case, I don’t think he’s done anything. Not yet. Not until the lights are turned off, he finally finds something to give him the same thrill, and the gloves hang up permanently. But trust me, that’s the difficult part. Nothing else can ever compare to this, in my opinion.
