Tyson Fury is sticking to his word that Saturday will be the final time he steps into the ring as a professional boxer.<\/p>\n

Fury is set to defend his WBC and The Ring heavyweight titles in the main event of a sold-out Wembley Stadium in England against fellow Brit Dillian Whyte. It’s not the Anthony Joshua megafight many fans wanted to see but the hope was that fight would happen next.<\/p>\n

However, in the lead-up to this fight, Fury said this would be his last bout and he would retire<\/a>. Although not many took him seriously, now just days away from the contest he confirmed \u00a0Saturday is his farewell fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got nothing to prove to anybody, I\u2019m just there to have fun, take in the atmosphere, and enjoy the night. It\u2019s the final farewell. It\u2019s been a long old ride, it\u2019s quite emotional to be honest,” Fury said to a Top Rank correspondent<\/a>. “All this, the ride of, like, starting as a little kid and wanting to be heavyweight champion, and then to finally be hanging up the gloves. I know nobody believes me because they all think I\u2019m after money or whatever else, there\u2019s only a certain amount of people who know that money don\u2019t mean nothing to me. I\u2019m walking away. I have nothing to prove to nobody. I\u2019ve done what I had to do. That\u2019s it. Win, lose, or draw on Saturday night, we put up a good fight and we go home. That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the way I\u2019ve been feeling. I said to (my wife), before the last Deontay Wilder fight, we was both in the room upstairs in the house in Vegas, and I said, \u201cThis is it. This is the last one now with Wilder,” Fury continued. “I don\u2019t think there will be anymore.\u2019 And she said, \u2018Thank God for that.\u2019 And after the fight, we got the opportunity to do a big one at home with Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium, so it\u2019s an opportunity that you don\u2019t pass up. It\u2019s the (national) stadium and it\u2019s a massive, massive event. The biggest crowd that Wembley\u2019s ever had in it for any sporting event, I believe. I was always planning to walk away, and here we are, walk away.”<\/p>\n

Tyson Fury is currently 31-0-1 as a pro and coming off the TKO win over Deontay Wilder last October in their trilogy bout after he TKO’d Wilder in February 2020. In his career, he holds notable wins over Wladimir Klitschko, Derek Chisora, Christian Hammer, and Steve Cunningham among others.<\/p>\n
