Eddie Hearn believes Tyson Fury’s retirement announcement is a ploy to get more money for a return fight and doubts boxing fans have seen the last of the British heavyweight.
Reacting to Fury’s announcement, Hearn told iFL TV: ‘I saw that coming, yeah. I saw that coming.
‘If you ever want to come back and get the max, you have to retire first, haven’t you? Someone then has to bring you out of retirement.
‘If that’s the last we see of Tyson Fury then good luck to him. I doubt it personally but whatever he chooses to do, much respect to him.
‘I think he’ll want to fight again, I think he will get bored and he will know the British public want to see the AJ fight.
‘My personal belief if we’ll see him in the ring again. If not then good luck to the man.’
Asked if he was disappointed by Fury’s announcement, Hearn added: ‘No, no. I don’t get disappointed. What will be will be.
‘Some things in life are completely out of your hands. You can’t get disappointed.
‘If he wants to retire there’s nothing we can do about it. If he’s up for the fight – the biggest fight in the sport – then great.’
