Following his win over Dillian Whyte in April 2022, Fury declared that he was retiring from boxing. During an interview with talkSPORT immediately following his announcement, Fury explained his decision, stating:
"I've been in this game for nearly 20 years - amateur and professional. I'm 34 in a few months. I said the third Wilder fight would be my last but I felt I owed the fans one last showdown. Doing it here at Wembley was phenomenal but, I say, this is definitely the end of the Gypsy King and I went out with a bang."

"God bless him. If that's what he wants to do, that's what he should do. I've said it all along. No one should be trying to influence him in the boxing world. What he should do is up to him, at the end of the day - after consulting his family and making discussions. He has made a lot of money, he's had a fantastic career..."
