You name it, Tyson Fury has achieved it. The fame, the glory, prestige, and wealth. However, as the saying goes, ‘All good things come to an end.’ The Gypsy King’ has contemplated retirement for a long time. Not to mention, he did retire last year. Even when he left fighting, fighting did not leave him and he made a comeback in December of last year.

Moreover, in a recent turn of events, ahead of his cross-over bout, Fury’s father, John Fury, asserted that he did not want him to continue fighting for long. But, why did he say that?

Indeed, with his entertaining trash-talking, and superb boxing prowess, Fury has given what the fans wanted for years and continues to do so.  In the same interview, he added that he does not wish to see him fight for long.

What motivates Tyson Fury now?

Fury has proven himself to be one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. Yet, he continues to fight. Why you ask? Well, because of financial incentives. In an interview, reflecting upon the same, he stated, “If I didn’t fight again from tonight if I didn’t fight on Saturday, if I didn’t fight anybody else, I am done. I’m very happy. I do not give one high hooter about fighting anybody else. I’m not interested at all. I’m only doing this now for the paychecks, nothing else.”
