The 33-year-old kicked out his opponent in the sixth round with a devastating uppercut before repeating a promise he made to his wife Paris to retire from the sport.
“I have to be a man of my word and I think this could be the last curtain for Gypsy King and what way out,” he said in an interview after a fight in the ring.
Fury said he promised his wife he would retire after winning his trilogy against Deontay Wilder last year, but the WBC heavyweight champion chose to defend his title against White in front of a record Wembley crowd.
However, Fury promoter Frank Warren said he would support his fighter’s decision if he decided to retire this time.
“If it was going to be the last fight, it was going to be the last fight. It’s his decision, he’s the man who goes out in the ring. And if it’s his last fight, he’s come out so high,” Warren said in the ring Saturday. .
If this was to be Fury’s last battle, then what a way to worship.
The champion, who extended his undefeated record to 32 wins and a draw, dominated from the start of the bell and enjoyed the incredible atmosphere created by the Wembley audience.
The last right-handed uppercut on Saturday was something of devastating beauty, emphasizing that Fury is still a boxer at the very top of his game.
Many fans would like to see Fury continue to unite the heavyweight division, but this will include a battle with the winner of the rematch of Alexander Usik against Anthony Joshua.
Uski currently holds the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO belts after defeating Joshua last year, and Fury’s wife has hinted that this may be the only battle to annoy her husband back in the ring.
“I would like him to come out now. He has nothing more to prove,” Paris told BT Sport on Saturday.
“If he had anything to do, I’d say yes, Tyson, you did it.” But he has nothing to prove.
“So, unless he really wants to box and if he’s just doing it for any money, thank goodness, there’s no need for that. He is the most famous man on the planet tonight.
“There is only one reason for Tyson to continue boxing, and I know in my heart that the only reason Tyson is back is for the unification fight.
Fury’s career is one of the extremes. He has won some of the biggest battles in a decade but is suffering from severe mental health and said he committed suicide before making an epic return to the sport in 2018.
In his mind, however, there is no doubt that he is the greatest heavyweight ever fought and certainly has a lot of work to do to support such a bold statement.
“I’m a legend in this game, you can’t deny it. I’m the best heavyweight ever. There’s never been anyone who could beat me,” he told reporters at a news conference after the match. .
Although this may be the last time we see Fury compete professionally, he has not ruled out future show fights and flirts with the possibility of fighting.
After all, Fury is an artist and you will always have an appetite to see him play.
