Fury tells his former rival to retire but it is not Chisora
Tyson Fury has urged his most famous rival to call time on his boxing career despite him getting ready for another fight.
Fury, who announced his exit from the sport earlier this year, fought Deontay Wilder three times, winning twice and drawing their first meeting.
Their feud was finally over and following that final bout in their rivalry, both men moved off in different directions.
Fury would eventually lose twice to Oleksandr Usyk in 2024 and for Wilder, his world was turned upside down when he was beaten by Joseph Parker before being stopped last year by Zhilei Zhang .
Wilder is set to return to action on June 27 when he faces Tyrrell Herndon in Kansas, but despite his planned return, Fury would prefer Wilder to hang up his gloves.
“Being truthful, I’d like to see poor old Deontay retire from boxing,” said Fury when speaking on Pound 4 Pound with Kamaru and Henry.
“When I beat Wilder, he was 44 and 0, with 43 KOs, and he KO’d the guy who went the distance with him in the rematch, so that means he knocked out every single person he ever faced. 44 people.
“Obviously, he lost the three fights to me and since that third trilogy, we took a lot of lot of years off each other’s lives. That war, which ended in the 11th round by knockout, that took a lot out of our tanks. Between me and Wilder in that trilogy there was 10 knockdowns. It takes a lot out of a fighter.
“Even when he’s come back and had a couple of fights since, he’s only a shadow of his former glory. The only thing left that remains the same about Deontay is his name.”
