After Saturday's victory, who will Tyson Fury defend against next?

No one, as he claims he will retire after this.

...yeah, I think so too, but you still, at some point the man is going to be telling the truth about his retirement, right?

 

Usyk most likely. I don't think he'll ever have another fight which doesn't involve Usyk or Joshua

 

As a Fury fan I'll admit though that I don't know whether he's serious or not this time. What I do know is that there's noone in boxing who knows the art better than him, certainly heavyweight boxing. He's as smart and knowledgeable about the sport as he is at performing in it and if his calculations are that his size advantage and intelligence isn't enough to negate the superior skillset of Usyk with he himself getting no younger, then he probably will retire after this fight.

He could also do the total opposite and go straight into a Usyk fight by the end of the year, beat him up and then retire. Absolutely nothing would/should be a surprise with Tyson Fury. That's the magic of him

 

Fury is shot to pieces sadly

He will retire

Whyte, AJ, Fury, Wilder and Usyk all want to retire this yearr, crazy right? but they all know the gold will be unguarded. Fury is making the first move.

If Whyte gets blown out in 2 rounds he might snipe off the AJ Usyk winner. but he wont wait.

 

Even if he wins he has stated this is his last fight, he`s 33.

 

Fury has already said he is going to retire. He wants no part of Usyk.

 

Usyk/Joshua winner. Too much money on the table

 

Victory? Left hook and it's ovah

 

33 is a pup in HW

 

Who else?


Two days out and I'm barely hyped for this fight, which lack of raring enthusiasm has less to do with the scarcity of back-and-forth or catcalling in the build-up than the matchup itself. Didn't excite me a few months ago, doesn't excite me now. Even the limited appeal of seeing Whyte choke on his past boasts has been dulled, given the affable diffidence he's shown in fight week. Most I can say is that I look forward to seeing Fury perform, as I always do, and I expect a strong, conclusively victorious showing.


The fight after Whyte is the one. And it will leave a lot of guys on this forum eating their words with a fork and spoon. There will be no retirement (or, if there is, it will be a short-lived one). Not only will Tyson Luke Fury sign on the dotted line, he will defeat the current guy he's not supposed to be able to defeat.

As sure as the sun will rise, friends. As sure as the sun will rise.

 

Winner of Usyk-Joshua 2.

 

He won’t retire. He’s only said that to sell this fight as whyte didn’t and neither does the undercard

 

I don't think he will retire, but it wouldn't surprise me to see him take an extended break 10-12 months and then come back for a potential fight with AJ/Usyk.

 

If he wins (probably) you'll never know with Fury. If he continous, also more than likely despite his own ramblings, he would have to wait and see for what happens with Usyk, and if he really wants that fight.
There's also the possibility he fights someone at his usual inbetween fights level. A guy with a record that only looks good on paper, who magically appears in the WBC's top 15 some weeks after the fight.
