\u201cIt\u2019s not really about a belt anymore it\u2019s just that I want to make that Anthony Joshua fight that was supposed to have happened for the last 10 years but hasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously I have this big fight in front of me in Makhmudov first and then we don\u2019t know what the third fight might be after Joshua but I\u2019m aiming for three fights this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf it\u2019s a good fight with me and AJ, which I don\u2019t think it will be, I think it will be a blow-away, then we will have a rematch. But if not, we will see.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fury also opened up about his inability to walk away from boxing, despite officially announcing his retirement for the fifth time in his career.<\/p>\n
His father, John, has been one of the most outspoken on the situation, insisting that his son (34-2-1, 24 KOs) has no more business being in a boxing ring.<\/p>\n
But the two-time world heavyweight champion said: \u201cI\u2019ve been in this game a long time and boxing is my life. It\u2019s the only thing I know how to do.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve tried to retire so many times, five times, but it\u2019s always dragged me back. It\u2019s not for money or achievements but without boxing I don\u2019t have a purpose in my life and I don\u2019t see a future. I\u2019m not ready for it yet, to not see a future. I\u2019m 37, at least let me get to 40 before I\u2019ve got no future left.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve tried everything; promoting, managing and I still do all that stuff right now but there\u2019s no thrill of the chase. There\u2019s nothing like being in there getting punched about by big heavyweights. It\u2019s a turn on.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it\u2019s an obsession and sometimes you get selfish because in the beginning you want things in your life, you want to be a champion, you want to earn money, get a house and cars and whatever, Then it becomes an obsession later on. You want more, more, more. It starts to affect your family, your home life, your wife, your children, everybody. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s got to be an end to it but to me, there is no end. Mike Tyson just fought recently at 60 years old. When is there an end? I remember Larry Holmes saying \u2018never retire, champ, never retire\u2019. These guys are coming back and showing us there is no end. George Foreman winning world titles at 45 years old or Archie Moore doing 15-rounders well into his 40s. It\u2019s a drug.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor my father, he just wants the best for me. He wants me to retire and walk away but if it was that easy I would have walked away five times before but I don\u2019t have that ability to let go. It can affect a lot of stuff including families. <\/p>\n
\u201cMy dad saying he\u2019s not speaking to me, I suppose he\u2019s trying to encourage me to not fight anymore. But fighting\u2019s all I\u2019ve ever known and all I ever will know.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fury and Makhmudov clash in the headline fight of The Ring card at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, in what…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":591896,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[90965,64,63,802,232239,1920,58030,85,2974],"class_list":{"0":"post-591895","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-object-object","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-boxing","12":"tag-boxing-articles","13":"tag-boxing-news","14":"tag-featured-article","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-the-ring"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/591895","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=591895"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/591895\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/591896"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=591895"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=591895"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=591895"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
