    When one door closes, another opens. The English will welcome him into the House of Lords and pay tribute to him with statues and honorary Oxford degrees.

    I think after Ruiz beat him, and then Usyk really beat him, he knows he can’t be the best in the sport


    he’s been convinced of that, so he has made a lot of money, and it’s time to bow out

    some fighters are content to continue and make what money they can, whereas others, if they can’t be the very best, they’re gonna quit entirely

    If he wants to keep fighting it isn't the right mentality. If he's planning on hanging up his gloves then it's a perfect way to look at things.

    I hope Usyk KOs him to aid in his decision making.

    He can take a few more L’s going that route

    It's hard to do 5am roadwork when you're sleeping in silk pajamas.

    Well of course he's coming to the end he's not 21 is he?
    I thought his ambition was to try and become undisputed. if he fails against Usyk then it's probably over at that point for him.
    He's made more than anyone else at heavy. so he hasn't done badlly if he only has a fight or two left.

    Do people still think that $50mil thing Wilder posted on twitter was a genuine offer?

    If you (censored) him, does he not bleed?

    There would be something hilarious about Fury not getting his huge payday.

    Sounds like he may retire immediately - or after the Usyk rematch

    I am guessing he has $100 mill socked away. No good continuing if his heart is not in it.

    AJs career ended when he was embarrassed by Ruiz
