    Aye, ABCs don't like him, it's weird.

    Fury should fight one more fight.

    If Fury was contemplating retirement then give him time but he’s repeatedly confirmed that he HAS retired so the WBC should be allowed to look for a new champion. Obviously we all know Fury hasn’t retired but it would be interesting to see if the WBC are willing to put their vacant belt up for an Usyk v AJ undisputed clash. No loss to Fury if he’s made ‘champion emeritus’ unless the winner is Usyk who then promptly retires as a 2 weight undisputed ATG super duper champion.

    Frank Warren has told the WBC that nobody can tell the world heavyweight champion what to do.
    WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman plans to ask fury if he will confirm his retirement and relinquish their title, but Warren says the WBC should not pressurise Fury as he and his wife Paris will decide his future when they are ready.
    No-ones going to tell Tyson what to do says the Queensbury promotions chief.
    The only person who will tell Tyson what to do will be Paris or himself "TF".
    There is nothing for the WBC to assess, i don't see any relevance as there is no mandatory due, so what will they talk about...

    Not my words, this piece was in one of the papers today, by the sounds of it TF aint going anywhere soon, he will be back me thinks.

    Win or lose for Usyk, Fury isn’t retiring. I can’t believe boxing fans are falling for it.

    Honestly. We all know he’s not retiring. He knows he’s not retiring. If he’s retiring he should give the belt up with immediate effect but he won’t cos he isn’t. Great fighter but why does he have to act like such a drama queen with this retirement nonsense?

    Fighters have been doing same thing for long time. Muhammad Ali retired after almost every fight when he was champion in 1970s.

    I think WBC just want to see if they can get the title back to Wilder.

    He was the one who came out and said he was done with boxing, so he doesnt need time, should just give up the belt with no problem. But Fury is a dam liar, we know that. Heck of a boxer but full of absolute ****.

    Fury’s activity on insta does not make it seem like he’s done. He’s still training every day and just did 10 rounds sparring.
