Paris Fury reveals the one fight that would bring Tyson Fury out of retirement

Paris Fury has revealed the one fight that would bring Tyson Fury out of retirement after the Gyspy King confirmed his intentions to step away from boxing after defeating Dillian Whyte last night. Fury has since doubled down on his intentions and has announced his retirement.

The fight was a stunning all-round display from Fury, who kept Dillian Whyte in his range as he worked his jab, before flooring his opponent with a swift and stunning knockout in the sixth round. Speaking to talkSPORT he would confirm his retirement, before reaffirming this with the media afterwards.

He said: "I've been in this game for 20 years, I'm 34 in a few months. This is definitely the end of the Gypsy King and I went out with a bang. Tonight was amazing but this is the end."

It would bring an end to one of the greatest careers in boxing history - retiring with 32 wins and one draw in his 33 fights.

And Tyson's wife, Paris, has revealed that whilst he will retire, she expects only one fight to tempt him to come back.

Paris told BT Sport: "He has nothing left to prove - that's the thing, if he anything left to do I would say Tyson, you do it. Unless he really wants to box on - for fame or money or whatever - he doesn't need that. Tyson is the most famous man on the planet tonight.

"We're very blessed and lucky to not need anymore money - I am happy with what we are and what we have.

"I know in my heart that the only reason Tyson would come back is for a unification fight and that would be the only reason. He has nothing left to prove."

That fight, of course, would have to come against Anthony Joshua or Oleksandr Usyk. The two will rematch this summer for the heavyweight titles which Fury does not hold, with the Gypsy King potentially facing the winner.
