Boxing: Tyson Fury vows to retire after Dillian Whyte fight at 33
Tyson Fury has promised to retire with £150million banked after his Wembley showdown with Dillian Whyte.
The 33-year-old WBC champion unveiled a five-fight plan before his iconic trilogy win over Deontay Wilder in October.
And the April 23 clash with the Brixton ace is supposed to be a semi-final to face the winner of Anthony Joshua’s rematch with Oleksandr Usyk for the WBC, IBF and WBO belts and legendary undisputed status.
But the eccentric Gypsy King reckons he will now retire undefeated after fending off Whyte and leave AJ, Usyk and the rest of the world wanting more.
He said: “This is the final fight of my career. I am retiring after this.
“I’ll have £150m in the bank, still be healthy, young and good-looking.
“I am going to buy a massive yacht abroad to go with the super-cars and properties I have all over the world.
“I am going to sit back with a hot blonde and a pina colada thinking ‘you know what, I f***ing made it. Boom!’
“I’ll sling some baby oil on and get a tan, that’s what world champions do.”
Fury was the first press conference to announce his upcoming clash with Whyte at Wembley today.
But the Brixton ‘Body Snatcher’ failed to show, as the pair’s bitter rift over purses continue.
Whyte instead decided to stay at his Portuguese training camp where he is planning the heavyweight champ’s downfall.
Fury’s retirement announcement will not come as a shock to fans, as he has claimed he will hang up his gloves before.
But he now has a large family around him and looks in a better place after his mental health battles.
And he plans to spend more time with wife Paris and their six children.

Earlier, Fury claimed he would be the first man to represent the UK if war broke out.
It comes after his rival and potential future opponent Usyk joined the Ukraine frontline amid the Russian invasion.
“When it comes to war on UK soil, I’ll be first up.
“I’ll be first up, I’ll be the easiest target to hit at 6ft 9in, I’ll be dead first.
“Frank [Warren] will be shading from the bullets behind me and I’ll just catch them all like a nutcase.”
