Just under 2 months before their title camp, Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte should have spoken to the press in Wembley, where a full house is expected on April 23. But Whyte sent his cat and so it became a one-man show from Fury, with an emphasis on show.
After all, the “Gypsy King” performed his usual song, in which he combines bravado with humor. But the current world heavyweight champion also surprised by announcing his retirement.
“This will be the last fight of my career, after this I stop. I have 150 million dollars (135 million euros) in the bank, I am healthy and I am young (33 years, ed). After this I buy a huge yacht abroad. I’m done with it.”
Still a blow to the arm, because Fury announced his farewell before, only to come back to it afterwards. He made a remarkable comeback, for example, after a suspension for cocaine use that should also have been the end of his career.
In any case, Showman Fury knows very well how to lure the people to his fight. “People will ask years later: where were you on April 23, 2022? It will be the biggest fight since Lewis-Bruno (in 1993), a clash between two Britons for the world title.”
Of course, Fury has the slightest doubt about the outcome: “I’m not worried about Dillian Whyte. This will be the Tyson Fury Roadshow.”
