Fury reveals misery awaiting him after he stops boxing

Ahead of his fight with Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas Saturday night, heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury has revealed the misery awaiting him after he hangs his gloves.

This weekend’s match will be the third that the duo will clash.

In 2018, Tyson and Deontay had their very first fight, which ended as a draw.

Two years later, they met but Fury won and took home the WBC belt.

Fury was asked about his motivation and why he fights.

“I’m not fighting to be the greatest of all time, I’m not fighting to be a legend,” Fury said.

“It wouldn’t benefit me earning another £50m or £200m, you don’t need to be rich to live my life.

“I’m just a normal person who is very good at boxing and a very special, chosen person.”

Asked if the Saturday fight will be his last in the ring, , Fury said he fights  because I he could.

“I don’t enjoy anything else, I don’t have any hobbies. After boxing, I will be a very sad, lonely person.

“I’ve tried looking after animals, four-wheeled driving, got a shotgun licence, clay pigeon shooting. Nothing turns me on.”
