TYSON FURY announced that he will be retiring from boxing following his fight against Dillian Whyte.
Morecombe, a 33-year-old slugger, takes on his British counterpart at Wembley on April 23rd.
The winner of Anthony Joshua's rematch against Oleksandr Usyk was expected to face him.
Fury, however, has made it clear that he will leave the ring in order to spend more time with Paris and his six children abroad.
He stated, "This is my last fight. I'm retiring after that."
"$150million in savings, healthy, and young, I'm going to buy a huge yacht abroad.
"I'm retiring. I'm out. This is my last fight. I'm done."
Today's first press conference was held by The Gypsy King to announce his clash with Whyte at Wembley.
His Brixton 'Body Snatcher" opponent, however, failed to show and their bitter rift over purses continues.
Instead, he decided to remain at his Portuguese training camp, where he plans the downfall of the heavyweight champion.
Fury's retirement announcement won't shock fans as he previously stated that he would hang up his gloves.
He now has a large extended family and is in a better place, despite his mental health struggles.
