Do boxers always have some sort of excuse after a fight? I don't recall this a few years ago, but it seems recently boxers will say anything when they've lost. Wilder, and now Whyte claiming their opponent cheated. Quite frankly, while you might argue the push was illegal, I didn't think it was much in it. Whyte already looked buzzed, and sort of leaned into Fury, very likely a natural reaction to get space, which you see quite a few times in every fight. The reason he went down is because he was so hurt.
Also, I've looked at the replays, and it doesn't appear to show Whyte hitting the back of his head on the canvas after the punch like he claims. While, it might be a little more believable than Wilder's excuses, I don't think there's any real substance behind it.
I'm also convinced that we will see Fury in the ring again, even if it's against Ngannou. Although, the Joshua fight will likely come knocking, for very big money.

Its normal for referee to make out some decisions as safe as possible for every fighter.
Obviously Whyte had wobble out when he stands and the referee starts to count but he outbalanced which does indicate that he can't really fight anymore and it was just a good call on saving up his careerrather than on damaging more his brain cells due to punch impact.Some people had been complaining about that push was illegal and shouldn't really be done but i would say that
push was just right to save up himself for more damage and lets see on how this complaint would actually goes far.
I didn't have the opportunity to see all the rounds in this fight, but I saw the highlights... Fury's punch must really be very deadly for it to have made a mature and experience fighter as Whyte loose balance on his feet, if the fight was allowed to continue, it would have resulted in serious complications for him. If I were other fighters, I'll try and much as possible to avoid Fury.
When it comes on being technical and being hard puncher then i dont really have doubts for Fury..Its normal for referee to make out some decisions as safe as possible for every fighter.They wont really be that dumb on letting a fight continue if they do see there's high chance on bigger injuries if it would be pushed further.
You could really see the reach do really make out some advantage i would say but the power difference is really that noticeable.
It seems Francis Ngannou is confident he will fight Tyson Fury. He says he is 70% sure he will fight Fury in 2023

I find it hard to believe he would actually retire now. The unification fight would definitely mark a fitting end, and he would truly then have achieved everything. I can't see him passing up that chance, especially if it's against Joshua (but also if it's Usyk).
One other thing I do still find hard to believe is that Mike Tyson is not even the most successful heavyweight boxer named Tyson!

I also heard about his retirement plan after his fight against Whyte but I don't think he's going to retire now because he once talked about ending his boxing journey after he defeat Wilder which he didn't retire because he want to fight an opponent that worth handling over the belt to before his retirement and I am sure if Anthony Joshua defeats Usyk in their next fight Fury will like to fight him before he retires.
Don't listen to him regarding retirement. Most of that was likely just trying to sell this fight. He even brought Ngannou out and into the ring after the victory to try hype up the bout so it looks like that fight is probably going to happen next year. I'm sure he will fight the winner of Aj/Usyk as well. Maybe even both of them as AJ will struggle to win the belts back (though I don't think it's impossible). Maybe he will just look to do huge exhibition matches on his own terms but I doubt it's the last we'll see of Fury fighting. Keep an eye out if he vacates the belts or not. If he does then that will be a pretty good indicator he's done with fighting for them but is he going to walk away from the belts that easy? I'm not so sure. I think fights against Usyk/AJ will still be bigger than the Whyte fight so even if AJ doesn't have a belt if that fight comes up I'm sure he will take it again.

I think his wife released a statement saying he would be back in the ring again. Will he really be able to walk away knowing a unification fight could be on the cards? He will surely be tempted to go for it. because he could unify the belts then retire.

Was quite a lacklustre fight until that uppercut came out of nowhere.
True. there was not much going on until that point. Whyte was trying to probe and get closer to Fury to land punches but Fury had a game plan and that reach he has with the jab was a great weapon, it rendered the Whyte attack useless and made him look ordinary. Fury did not have to do anything spectacular because he was controlling the fight and taking energy away from Whyte and then the uppercut did the damage and won him the fight.The Fury's are all a bunch of contradictions. His father comes out with some wise stuff sometimes and then goes and completely contradicts himself in the next sentence.

That Knockout win was a nice way to conclude his boxing career, congratulations to him, he really gives his very best to secure his clean 24-0 record which is one of the best records in the heavyweight division. We have already seen how other boxers struggled to keep their record clean when they are facing some strong opponents and most of them are not successful to do so but Tyson Fury is one of a kind, so retiring after this win is an unforgettable memory for the boxing fans out there.
I like to believe that Fury is heading for retirement but this article I read confirm my opinion that he is still a fight away from retirement and it might be against Joshua if Joshua wins his rematch against Usyk the confirmation is coming from his wife Paris
we all know that wife's always know better and she knows Fury very well than all of us.

Despite Fury's claim, his wife Paris has stated there is " no chance " he will retire after his latest win. If Joshua can win back his titles, a clash with Fury could still be on the cards according to Paris, as she admitted, "the only reason Tyson would come back would be a unification fight."
It seems he will not break his promise to his wife and he will retire but he also left the door open to a return. It is a contradiction but that is what he said in his post-fight press conference.
Tyson Fury is done with boxing and retired for good and the next fight he is interested is against the UFC champion Francis Ngannou and they are planning to do some kind of hybrid fight with small gloves and so on and they know and we know that would be a huge fight for the fight fans and hope Dana White will not interfere in between.That Knockout win was a nice way to conclude his boxing career, congratulations to him, he really gives his very best to secure his clean 24-0 record which is one of the best records in the heavyweight division.

I only get to see the highlights of the fight because of the difference in my time at the event but that huge uppercut makes all the difference I thought Whyte can manage to continue because he manage to get us but he lose his equilibrium, Fury says after the Whyte he will retire we don't know if he is going to honor his words.

I think the money is on Fury vs Joshua and this could be the biggest fight n British Boxing history. So for sure Fury can get out of that retirement and fight Joshua. But that is if Joshua will win against Usyk. Nevertheless, either one of them can't beat the version of Fury no matter what angle you look at it. Fury is way above this guy, in terms of power and boxing IQ.
If you look at the names, yes, but in my opinion it would be a dull fight (more of a beating than a contest). Fury is Usyk + 25 kg (and an iron head that allows him to return from knockouts) so I think that given the fact that Usyk > Joshua, Fury >> Joshua. I would have looked at Usyk vs Fury with more interest, although the result is a foregone conclusion here, for obvious reasons.
That's exactly the same thing that runs in my head. Joshua vs Fury could have been a super fight had Joshua not humiliated by Ruiz and then defeated by Usyk. Had Joshua continued his boxing career and added big victories to his credentials he could have a strongly anticipated match against Fury, but that is not the case. Joshua doesn't have a colorful professional boxing credentials and then he got defeated twice already. Fury vs Usyk is a much bigger match.

There's no retirement in boxing, they can still have a fixed match later on and it happens in other boxing as well.I only get to see the highlights of the fight because of the difference in my time at the event but that huge uppercut makes all the difference I thought Whyte can manage to continue because he manage to get us but he lose his equilibrium, Fury says after the Whyte he will retire we don't know if he is going to honor his words.
Fury did a great job and won the match, maybe he is still on a big hype after this and talks about his retirement. Well, on the other hand Whyte deserve the payment as well so even if he lose the match here he can still have the money as promised, this is how boxing works after all.

I'm sure he'll break his promise. Maybe I'm wrong and this is exactly the case (one in a hundred) but I have heard so many such stories and seen so many departures (from the national team, from a professional career, etc.) that were only part of the return and attracting the attention of the public that I I just don't believe it.
It’s a pity that we didn’t see a competitive fight and everything ended quite early, but I hope that the Usyk-Joshua fight will follow a similar scenario and Usyk will win without any problems.

This is the best time to retire an undefeated record and a championship belt but we really never know let's finish the Usyk - Joshua fight and see where circumstances take these fighters.
In addition to that, a lot of people also want to see him take on Francis Ngannou the UFC heavyweight champion so I believe he still has two more fights before he retires.

This win just opened a lot of opportunities for Fury there's talk about the Ngannou fight he even invited Julius in the interview plus the winner of the Usyk - Joshua will make a huge demand for Fury to break his promise, we never know but an all British fight is what British community is waiting to happen and so are the boxing fans around the world.
The Fury - Joshua has been a long wait and now there's another for that to happen if Usyk wins then he can retire but of course, if Joshua wins people are going to talk about the Fury - Joshua and tempt Fury to comeback.

Gypsy King does the damage, even the upper cut that lead to the KO wasn't a clean one. Dillian went in and was throwing no punches nor keeping his guard up. These shorter guys need to learn how Mike Tyson beat taller guys or better yet watch better boxers like otto wallin. That guy punished Fury but fury won by points.
You can't be Shorter, with a shorter reach and yet be slower. How are you gonna hit the taller guy. undecided. Dillian did rubbish, way worse than wilder.
