“I think if you haven’t got the heart for it anymore and don’t want to compete anymore then retirement is the best option,” Hearn said.”I just think if I was looking for the right deal, I’d go into retirement too, but I can’t speak on his behalf.”Warren believes Fury has more to give to boxing and does not want him to quit the sport altogether. He says the duo would have a “good run” if Fury joined Queensbury Promotions.“Of course he can’t. No fighter can,” he continued. “At the end of the day you have to face reality. Not that he should retire, I’m saying financially he can, there was nothing in that fight between the two of them (Fury and Oleksandr Usyk).
“I hope it’s not [goodbye] because he’s got a lot to give boxing outside the ring.”
Tyson Fury has been backed to become a boxing promoter after announcing his surprise retirement from the sport. Frank Warren, the Gypsy King’s co-promoter, would welcome Fury into a role at Queensbury Promotions.”He was two-time world champion. He’s done it twice and he done it in the other guy’s backyard.””I’d have no problem with him getting involved with us. We’d have a good run together!” the 72-year-old told Sky Sports. “He’s got a great brain and he’s very astute.”Disappointing obviously for British fight fans… but if that’s the last we see of him, he’s had a great career… I doubt it. But it’s always best to come into retirement to make sure someone pays you to come out of retirement.Warren pointed out that Fury cannot go on forever and had to retire at some point, despite the surprise of his announcement this week.
“It’s been a blast. I’ve loved every single minute of it and I’m going to end with this – Dick Turpin wore a mask.”Fury has previously announced his retirement from boxing, saying in 2022 that he was quitting the sport. He subsequently returned but lost his heavyweight title to Oleksandr Usyk last May, and was then defeated in the rematch.The 36-year-old confirmed on social media that he is stepping away from the ring. He told fans: “I would like to announce my retirement from boxing.Rival promoter Eddie Hearn is not convinced that Fury is actually retiring. The boxing icon has been strongly linked with a fight against Hearn’s client Anthony Joshua.
