Tyson Fury on retirement: 'I think this is it' after win over Dillian WhyteGettyImages
The WBC champion has often hinted that he will retire, and the moment may now be here.

Tyson Fury has hinted that he will retire after another successful defence of his WBC belt on Saturday night.

Fury delivered a knockout uppercut in the sixth round at Wembley Stadium to defeat Dillian Whyte, his mandatory challenger.

That makes it 32 wins and one draw over a career spanning 33 fights, and after a gruelling trilogy series against Deontay Wilder, and a successful homecoming this weekend, it is perhaps no surprise that Fury said after the bout that: “I think this is it” for his career.

Speaking to BT Sport, he said: "I promised my lovely wife Paris that after the third fight with Deontay Wilder that would be it and I meant it.

"I then got offered to fight at Wembley and I thought I owed it to the fans, to every person in the United Kingdom, to come here and fight.

"Now it's all done I have to be a man of my word. I think this is it, it might be the final curtain for The Gypsy King and what a way to go out!"

Frank Warren, Fury’s co-promoter, said: "If it was going to be the last fight, it'll be the last fight. That's his decision, he's the guy getting in the ring. If it is his last fight, he has gone out on such a high."
