Steward stated that Tyson was prevented from getting the fights he wanted by politics.
This became mentally draining for the heavyweight champion.
Fury believed that winning all of the belts at the same stage was more than enough, even though the Gypsy King has never been undisputed.
Which fight was a failure?
Fury was supposed to fight Anthony Joshua in a highly anticipated clash last year, but the fight was cancelled and Fury is said not to be satisfied by his constant disappointments.
The Gypsy King believed it was impossible because he would face a PS58million lawsuit for failing to fight Deontay wilder.
Tyson ignored his contractual obligation to have a three-way encounter with the Bronze Bomber. He won the contest after the October 9, 2021 date was pencilled in.
AJ was furious about the situation, believing that he was being led to the greatest fight in British boxing history.
Fury said in an interview with Gary Neville, former Manchester United player: "I wasn't very optimistic about that AJ fighter happening."
"But suddenly, 'It’s my fault, it's mine, I don’t want to fight ‘cause I’m a s***house. Please.
"I'll fight him here now and flatten his."
What is the current state of retirement?
SugarHill Steward, Tyson Fury's trainer, spoke with Sky Sports about the reasons behind the retirement of the Gypsy King.
Steward stated that he is happy for him to be retired because that's all he wants.
"I know that a lot of his retirement is due to not getting the fights he desires and it's really mental challenging to be offered fights, go through negotiations and then have them fall through at the last minute.
These things happen to many fighters all over the globe. It's not something you would expect to happen on such a large stage, but it happens and it's something fighters must deal with.
We on the outside don't always get it. It's easier to just say, "If he wins the fight, he'll return", but it's not the same as being on the outside and going through what happens inside.
"But it is the sport he loves so deeply, and it's hurting his like that. These things must be considered and respected.
