Following Tyson Fury's retirement announcement after beating Dillian Whyte, it has been questioned whether or not the champion will actually retire. WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman has stated that they are in contact with Fury:

"We spoke and we're going to be speaking in the near future. We will give him the time he needs."

Despite all of the questioning about whether or not 'The Gypsy King' is retiring, he made himself very clear on Piers Morgan's Uncensored. He stated that he's reached the pinnacle of the sport and now wants to enjoy his days with friends and family while he still has health and time on his side:

"This is the truth, the gospel truth, nothing but the truth: I'm done. Every good dog has it's day, and like the great Roman leader said, there'll always be somebody else to fight."

Fury explained he didn't have anything else to give to boxing, and no amount of money would be bringing him back to the ring. Regardless, fans are still suspicious, even more so now that the WBC President has stated he's been in contact with Tyson.
