Tyson Fury Fight News: Fury Eyes Possible Retirement After Klitscko Rematch, Moves Family to Los Angeles Due to Discrimination Claims
Current heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury is already thinking about retirement in this stage of his career.
The 27-year old British fighter was able to do the unthinkable, when he defeated long-time world champion Wladimir Klitschko in November via a convincing unanimous decision verdict. With the victory, he was able to bag the IBO, IBF, WBA, WBO, and lineal titles from Klitschko.
"Dr. Steelhammer", however, chose to exercise the rematch clause that was pre-stipulated during the fight's negotiations, and the two men will now meet each other for the second time on July 9th at the Manchester Arena.

Fury is on top of the boxing heavyweight world as of the moment, holding an undefeated record of 25-0, with 18 wins by knockout. Yet, despite his status, he is already looking at the possibility of hanging up his gloves for good.
In a report by The Guardian, Fury did not make an outright declaration, rather, he simply stated his ironic dislike for the sport he has been actively competing at for eight years now.
"I don't like it," Fury said. "I've done what I've got to do now and I want to get out of it. That's it. As soon as I can get out the better."
Fury also went on to add that should he end up losing to Klitschko, he would likely pursue his retirement plans and will look to find another source of earning money.
He also revealed that he has been the target of discrimination in his own home country, that he actually moved his entire family to the United States, in Los Angeles.
"I am not accepted in this country. I am a gypsy and that's it," Fury said in a Boxingscene report. "I will always be a gypsy, I'll never change. I will always be fat and white and that's it."
"I am moving to Los Angeles where people have a better life," he added, also noting how Americans are more accepting of his brash personality. "I made the decision last week to go where people admire success."
