Tyson Fury plans ten more fights despite retirement talk

Tyson Fury has dismissed suggestions that his upcoming showdown with Anthony Joshua could mark the end of his boxing career. The former heavyweight world champion, now at 38, is already considering a new deal that could keep him competing for another ten fights, provided the financial terms are right.

Fury is scheduled to face Joshua on December 11th in Cardiff, in a highly anticipated clash between the two of Britain's biggest boxing stars. Although the bout has been viewed by some as a potential farewell for both fighters, Fury has made it clear that he still wants to compete beyond that meeting.

Speaking to WSVN Miami, Fury explained that he has two fights remaining under his current contract before considering his next move. He suggested that a lucrative offer could persuade him to sign for another ten bouts, although he wants the schedule to move quickly as he gets older. Approaching his 40th professional fight, Fury says his appetite for competition remains strong.

Fury holds a professional record of 36 wins, two defeats and one draw, with 25 victories coming by knockout. After suffering back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk in 2024, he returned in April with a win over Arslanbek Makhmudov before stopping Mariusz Wach in July. The Briton has announced his retirement on five previous occasions, only to return to the ring each time, leaving open the possibility of another lengthy chapter in his career.
