TYSON FURY could hang up his gloves following the collapse of his showdown with Oleksandr Usyk.
The Gypsy King’s historic undisputed heavyweight title fight with the undefeated Ukrainian officially fell through on Wednesday after weeks of trying to resurrect the bout.
Tyson Fury’s historic showdown with Oleksandr Usyk officially collapsed this week
Fury, 34, is “down” following the collapse of the legacy-defining fight, so much so he could opt to bring down the curtain of his career.
Promoter Frank Warren told SecondsOut: “Everything’s too raw at the moment.
“Listen, he may retire. I don’t know what he wants to do. He’ll do whatever he wants to do.”
Fury and Usyk were on course to crown an undisputed ruler of the heavyweight at Wembley on April 29.
But the fight nearly went by the wayside when Fury demanded an outrageous 70 per cent split of the purse, which Usyk agreed to.
The Gypsy King then demanded there be rematch clause for the contest, a demand which has ultimately laid waste to the bout.
WBC heavyweight king took aim at the slick southpaw in an explosive Twitter rant on Thursday, saying: “
Uysk, you proper little s***bag, bog-eyed, gappy-teethed, ugly little rat b*****d
“You little slimy f****r.
“[You] tried all week to get out of it [the fight] begging for the rematch.
“You proper little s***bag, bog-eyed, gappy-teethed, ugly little rat b*****d.
“You tried all week to get to it, begging like a little girl. You got your rematch and you didn’t even want to fight at that.
“You little s***house p***y.
“Always know, p***y, that you were never man enough to tangle with the Gypsy King ever in your life, you little s***thouse.
“You little 14-stone coward.
“You little s***bag, you rat little b*****d.
“Your full team know as well and all the lawyers have got [the] full information.”
The former unified heavyweight champ then taunted Usyk over his seemingly nailed-on showdown with mandatory WBA title challenger Daniel Dubois.
He continued: “You little ugly b*****d, keep running. Fight Dubois at the Copper Box, s**t bag.
“And always know you, or anybody else like ya, could ever tangle with the Gypsy King.”
