Boxing legend and WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury may well have bowed out overnight from Saturday to Sunday at Wembley, after a six-round fight against his compatriot Dillian Whyte.
But the “Gypsy King”, if he confirmed in front of the London public his wish to retire, could not have completely hung up the gloves.
At 33, Fury is still inhabited by the wish to "entertain people", as he hammered it to the media Behind The Gloves.
Explaining even having a small idea behind the head for that.
“I am open to the idea of doing exhibitions.
If I fight Ngannou, we could do it in Las Vegas in a cage or in a ring, with or without gloves, as he wishes”, split the undefeated boxer in 33 fights (one draw).

The boxing champion against the MMA champion, winner at the end of January of a huge duel against the Frenchman Cyril Gane in the spectacular discipline taking place in an octagon, this is the enticing proposition of the Briton.
Confirmed by the Cameroonian "Predator" himself, who came to join Fury in the ring after the KO inflicted on Whyte.

A perspective that should delight all lovers of combat sports.
"It won't be for my belt because he can't become heavyweight champion and I can't become UFC champion.
Let's have an exhibition fight and entertain the world,” Fury continued to lay the groundwork for this possible matchup with no real stakes, which could take place in the United States in February or March 2023.
Last March, Ngannou (35) had already revealed that he was considering a prestigious duel with Fury on RMC.
“We want to organize a fight.
It's been a long time since I wanted to fight in English boxing, and especially on this opportunity with Tyson Fury, it's been two years since we warmed up a bit on the networks.
