    I think he retires and comes back a year later for the big AJ fight.

    Too old this time. He will begin to drink and take drugs again and he will not be able to recover a decent shape for a new comeback. He has not Foreman's or Hopkins' genetics.

    He will never ever fight AJ. Even if they gives him 200m.

    Makes me laugh how Fury AJ or Wilder never became undisputed given the amount of opportunities they all had to fight each other. Serves them all right.

    Usyk and his team are smart. They’ll work on their defence to the uppercut and body shots. Usyk nullified both later in the fight after getting dominated in the middle rounds.

    Id expect Usyk to finish Fury off in the rematch, and quite savagely as we saw in round 9.

    I think Fury recognises this, and think he’ll probably prefer to go back to his wife and kids without extra CTE

    I've been saying for years that he never wanted a goddamn thing to do with Usyk. Hell, he even told us that himself three years ago and his subsequent actions confirmed that resoundingly. He was essentially forced into taking the fight and it took all the money in Saudi, being mocked and ridiculed by fans mercilessly, and losing millions of his own fans to prise him out of the chicken coop. His actions and body language always told us that he was terrified of stepping foot into a ring with Usyk.

    This is someone who literally jumped at the chance to fight The Dosser x 3 in his backyard and he even preferred fighting him a fourth time as opposed to ever stepping foot into a ring with Usyk once in his own backyard.

    He even fought The Dosser in his backyard when he was an inactive muscle atrophied shell of himself for goodness sake.

    Usyk isn't just in the giants slaying business he's also in the souls harvesting one too

    To me he was already half way to retirement. Just look at the shape he comes into these fights. He is just doing it cause of the crazy amount of money he is making. Will the money still be there and without his 0 , is there something to motivate him into another fight with anyone? The Joshua fight would do crazy numbers in Britain but this is also a fight where he could be KTFO. I also don't think he wants to risk another lose with Usyk. Other than those two fight I don't think there is a money fight, money he is used to making.

    I hope he does retire for the sake of his health, hidings like this and the big punches he took off Wilder will have taken their toll.

    IF Fury retires he is going to balloon up to 400 + pounds. There won't be a 'comeback' from that at this stage. He's not 30 anymore. I'd love to see a winner take all fight in Fury vs AJ. Neither guy is going to beat Usyk so no reason for a rematch really.

    I think I agree. Fury is going to get brutally KO'd eventually. His endurance isn't anywhere near what it used to be and his punch resistance is completely gone.

    Better to go out in a 12 rounder undisputed fight than eyes shut flat on your back.
