Tyson Fury Says He’s “Done with Boxing” — Not Interested in a Third Fight with Oleksandr Usyk

Tyson Fury has never been shy about speaking his mind. But this time, his words carry a finality that few fans were expecting. After months of speculation about a possible trilogy fight with Oleksandr Usyk, the “Gypsy King” now says he has no interest in boxing again — ever.
In a candid and emotional interview with FurociTV, Fury dismissed the idea of another showdown with Usyk, claiming that no amount of money or titles could motivate him to step back inside the ring.
“I’ve not really spoken to Usyk since the fight,” Fury said. “I know he’s said some stuff like he wouldn’t mind a third fight — obviously, because it’s a big payday for him, isn’t it? But for me, what’s the point?”
It’s a stunning statement from one of the most charismatic and polarizing figures in modern boxing — and possibly the clearest sign yet that Tyson Fury’s legendary career may truly be over.
“What Am I Going to Do with Another 100 Million?”
Fury’s tone throughout the interview was more reflective than defiant. The 37-year-old heavyweight, who has spent more than two decades inside the sport, made it clear that money is no longer a motivator.
“If you give me another 100 million, what am I going to do with it?” he said. “It’s not going to affect my life at all. It won’t affect my kids’ lives or their kids’ lives. It’ll just make them f****** spoilt brats and make them s*** people.”
It’s the kind of brutally honest statement only Tyson Fury could deliver — a mix of philosophy, frustration, and raw truth. For a man who’s already achieved boxing’s highest honors, from lineal titles to undisputed status, the hunger simply isn’t there anymore.
A Lifetime in the Ring
Fury began boxing at age 12, inspired by the great heavyweights before him and guided by his fighting family’s long tradition in the sport. Over the next 25 years, he built one of the most remarkable résumés in heavyweight history — defeating Wladimir Klitschko to claim the unified titles in 2015, overcoming mental health struggles, and returning to dethrone Deontay Wilder in one of boxing’s most dramatic trilogies.
But time, as it always does, has caught up. “I’m 37 years old,” Fury said. “I’ve been punched for the last 25 years. What do I want to go back to boxing for?”
The statement echoes the sentiments of many great fighters before him — from Lennox Lewis to Andre Ward — who walked away not because they couldn’t compete, but because they no longer needed to.
Beyond Money and Titles
For years, Tyson Fury’s motivation was clear: he wanted to conquer boxing’s biggest names and prove his dominance in an era that craved heavyweight heroes. But after his split-decision loss to Usyk — a bout that crowned the Ukrainian as boxing’s first undisputed heavyweight champion in two decades — Fury seems to have found closure rather than vengeance.
“It used to be for the money, the titles,” he said. “But now I’ve got more money than I can spend. I’ve got unlimited amounts of belts and titles. Does it make me any happier? No.”
The comment provides a rare glimpse into Fury’s evolving mindset. He’s a man who has battled the highs of fame and the lows of depression, who has rebuilt himself time and time again, only to arrive at a place where the cheers no longer fill the void.
“You Could Offer Me £1 Billion…”
In perhaps the most striking part of the interview, Fury addressed the idea that every fighter has a price — and shut it down entirely.
“I could go back to boxing at any given time,” he said, “but I just don’t want to. You could offer me £1 billion today, and it wouldn’t move the needle. I’ve gone past that point of caring about what other people think.”
Coming from a man who once sold out stadiums across the UK and generated millions in pay-per-view buys, that’s a profound admission. The “Gypsy King,” who thrived on the spectacle and the stage, is now content to step away — not with a bang, but with peace.
A Complicated Legacy
If this truly is the end for Tyson Fury, his legacy remains one of the most complex and captivating in boxing history. At his peak, he was a master tactician — a 6’9” heavyweight who moved like a middleweight, who combined skill with showmanship and mental warfare.
He conquered addiction, depression, and obesity to stage one of the greatest comebacks in sports. He made boxing fun again — a rare combination of humor, honesty, and unpredictability that made every fight feel like an event.
Yet for all his triumphs, Fury’s career has been marked by contradictions. He’s vacillated between retirement and comebacks multiple times. He’s been both a hero and a headline-maker for the wrong reasons. But through it all, he’s remained authentic — a man unafraid to speak from the heart, even when it’s messy.
The End of the Road — or Just Another Chapter?
Boxing fans have heard this before. Fury has “retired” several times — only to return when the right challenge or storyline pulled him back in. But this time feels different. His tone isn’t performative or strategic. It’s weary.
Usyk, now the undisputed champion, has reportedly shown interest in a third fight — a chance to settle unfinished business after two grueling battles. But Fury’s words suggest that chapter is closed. “I’ve not really spoken to Usyk,” he repeated. “What’s the point?”
For once, the “point” — glory, revenge, money — doesn’t seem to matter.
A Champion at Peace
As Fury spoke about his children, his fortune, and his years of punishment inside the ring, one thing became clear: he’s seeking peace, not applause.
“There’s no actual reason for me to go back,” he said quietly. “I’ve done it all. I’ve been to the top. I’ve made the money, I’ve won the titles. And now… I’m happy.”
If this truly is the end, it’s fitting that Tyson Fury — the man who defied every expectation — leaves the sport on his own terms. No knockout loss, no dramatic fall, no tragic comeback. Just a man who’s finally ready to rest after 25 years of fighting.
And if this really is goodbye, then the Gypsy King departs not only as one of the greatest heavyweights of his generation, but as one of its most human — flawed, brilliant, and utterly unforgettable.
