Turki Al Al-Sheikh Hopes Fury Will Reconsider His Decision to Leave Boxing
The head of Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority, Turki Al Al-Sheikh, commented on Tyson Fury's announcement to retire from boxing.
Quote. "This is a decision that only the fighter himself can make. As a boxing fan, I don’t like it.
We want to see Tyson in more big fights, but I can understand his decision.
Over time, this decision might change. I will support him and discuss it with him. I’ll give him some time to spend with his family, and then we can talk about it," said Turki.
Reminder. Former world champion Tony Bellew also commented on Fury’s surprising decision to leave boxing. According to Bellew, this might be a bargaining tool in negotiations for a fight with Anthony Joshua.
It’s worth noting that the 36-year-old Fury lost his last two fights against Oleksandr Usyk.
