Tyson Fury Explains Decision to End Retirement From Boxing

After announcing his retirement from boxing in April, Tyson Fury has reversed course and is now plotting a return to the ring.

The heavyweight champion, who last defeated Dillian Whyte by TKO in April, has made clear in a series of posts on social media that he prefers to fight fellow Englishman Derek Chisora. The two boxers have already fought twice before, with Fury winning both bouts.

“I’ve decided to come back to boxing because I can be the first heavyweight world champion in history to have two trilogies, one with Deontay Wilder and one with Derek Chisora,” Fury said in a video posted on Twitter.
