His former champion and Mancunian Ricky Hatton has said he hopes Fury will turn his back on his sport, while the fighter’s wife, Paris, said she hopes he will hang up his gloves for the next two years.

Iron Mike, however, urged Fury to “Keep winning my brother, keep winning. “

“He is the linear champion. He is the man who hit the man ”, the former heavyweight king told Reuters.

“He practices heavyweight boxing, period. Nobody else is. Ask anyone except Usyk who the heavyweight champion is. Usyk could even tell it’s Fury. “

Wilder’s team was quick to insist that the American will fight despite the brutal nature of his valiant defeat, and Tyson has backed that development as well.

“Keep fighting, earn money, stack your money and stop someday” he affirmed.
