Tyson Fury teased his retirement following the brutal defeat of Dillian Whyte at Wembley.
Eddie Hearn, his promoter, believes that he will stay on for the undisputed career-defining fight with the winner in Anthony Joshua's high stakes rematch against Oleksandr Usyk.
He said to iFL TV, "It's very simple for Tyson go back and say, 'Look! I'm just gonna get some time now. Let me think about what you're going to do.
"I know that I said it after the fight but let me have some more time." And they shouldn’t strip him.
He doesn't need to quit, and he doesn’t have the obligation to make a decision on when his next fight will be. He just boxed.
