WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is training hard for what he claims is potentially the final bout of his career.

Fury will make a mandatory defense against Dillian Whyte on April 23 at Wembley Stadium in London.

The 33-year-old will be fighting in the UK for the first time since 2018.

Fury has made several retirement statements in the past - but he always marched forward with his career.

Beyond the upcoming fight with Whyte, there other high profile encounters - like a showdown with unified champion Oleksandr Usyk or a British super-fight with Anthony Joshua.

Fury explains that he achieved everything possible in his career and says his motivation to continue beyond April is pretty low. 

“The only thing I can gain is money,” Fury told BT Sport. “So after this fight I’ll have earned over $100 million. If I can spend that, I don’t deserve any more, do I?

“I know Mike Tyson spent half a billion and Evander Holyfield $400 million and all the rest, but I don’t live their big flash lifestyles. I live in Morecambe, in Lancashire. It’s cheap there. I don’t have any big habits like I’m gambling tons of money away. I don’t do anything. I can never spend the money I’ve got.

“Why do I have to be one of those people who went on too long and got injured? Just had one too many fights and blew it all for what? A few more quid? I’ve got stuff I want to do, a lot of opportunities that don’t involve me getting brain damage. I’ve got six kids and a wife. When is enough enough?

“Why do I have to be one of those people who went on too long and got injured? Just had one too many fights and blew it all for what? A few more quid? I want to retire on top, unbeaten heavyweight champion of the world. I want to do a Netflix documentary, a Hollywood movie, and be a good husband, father and son. Most of all I just want to be happy, and that’s probably the hardest thing.”
