Fury announces plan to retire

Fury, who bows out unbeaten having won 32 and drawn one of his 33 bouts, told BT Sport and cited on Sky Sports: "I promised my lovely wife Paris that after the third fight with Deontay Wilder that would be it and I meant it.
"I then got offered to fight at Wembley and I thought I owed it to the fans to come here and fight.
"I'm going to retire as only the second heavyweight in history to retire undefeated after Rocky Marciano. Two-time Ring Magazine heavyweight champion of the world, there's never been a Ring Magazine holder in my era, there hasn't been a lineal in my era either.
"Now it's all done I have to be a man of my word... what a way to go out!"
"I definitely think so (that he will retire). I will not rule out exhibitions for sure, Big Francis Ngannou was here today, he's on my hit list in an exhibition fight, either in a cage, in a boxing ring, boxing gloves, UFC gloves, we can make it happen.
"He's a monster of a guy, I'm a monster of a guy, so that will be a Clash of the Titans for sure."

The undefeated Fury has been linked with an undisputed world title fight against the winner of Anthony Joshua's rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, but he has now appeared to suggest that he is done with professional boxing.

Mike Tyson harassed by passenger before flight, video shows shocking moment Tyson beats him up on an aeroplane

You must be crazy to pick a fight with Mike Tyson.

Sports Brief earlier reported that one passenger on a Jet Blue flight from San Francisco to Florida certainly must have been crazy and paid the price for it.

The legendary boxer beat the man up before the flight took off, and the incident was caught on camera.

The person shooting the video could be heard saying, ‘My boy just got beat up by Mike Tyson.’

Tyson was happy to talk to the man and pose for a selfie. However, the man then became more obnoxious, refusing to leave the boxer alone, despite Tyson’s numerous requests not to be disturbed.
