RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Tyson Fury, the WBC heavyweight champion, has recently declared his intentions to continue his boxing career, stating that he’s looking to sign a new 10-fight deal after his upcoming fight with Francis Ngannou on October 28th. This announcement comes despite previous claims of retirement, suggesting that Fury is far from done in the world of boxing.
“I’m looking to sign another 10-fight deal after this, so I don’t know, I’m going to put my feelers out there and see who I can get the best deal off for another 10 fights,” said Fury in media reports. “This is all I’ve ever done and all that’s ever made me happy. So it’d be stupid now to walk away from it when I’m making millions of dollars and getting loads of joy from it as well,” added Fury.
