'I'll never come back': Tyson Fury's last dance?

MORECAMBE, UK -- Even as a child, Tyson Fury never envisioned an occupation other than his present one: heavyweight champion of the world. In his marvelously grandiose way of thinking -- something required of a real heavyweight champ, which is to say, a fighter for whom mythology and marketing are one in the same -- it was destiny, perhaps prophesy, and without question, God's will. But now that he's fully in his prime, as a fighter and an attraction -- 94,000 tickets sold, most in a matter of hours, for his title defense against Dillian Whyte this Saturday at Wembley Stadium -- Fury is vowing to retire.
