Tyson Fury claims he could return to being a car salesman after he calls time on his boxing career… but admits he faces a ‘big dilemma’ over his future as he may never be ready for retirement
- Tyson Fury was formerly a car salesman before he moved into boxing full-time
- He has revealed that he could return to that profession when he retires
- However, the Gypsy King has admitted he may never be ready to retire
Tyson Fury has suggested he could go back to selling cars when he finally decides to hang his gloves up for good.
The WBC heavyweight champion is due to defend his belt against Derek Chisora on Saturday after deciding to continue his boxing career, having initially announced his intention to retire after beating Dillian Whyte in April.
Looking ahead, Fury does not appear to have clear plan for his life after boxing, but feels he could look to sell cars like he did in his younger days.
Tyson Fury thinks he may go back to being a car salesman when he retires from boxing
‘Maybe I’ll go back to being a used car salesman and open myself a little pitch in Morecambe somewhere,’ Fury told The Sportsman when asked what the future holds for him.
‘Give myself a job so I can get up at 7am, go to the gym, come back and then go to work.’
Fury has threatened to retire from boxing on a number of occasions, but has always come back to the sport.

The Gypsy King is now 34, and most fighters would be nearing the end of their careers at this point.
Yet Fury believes he is still in his ‘prime’ and has questioned whether he will ever be happy to retire from boxing having had a brief taste of putting his feet up earlier this year.
‘I don’t know if I can ever be ready for retirement and this is the problem,’ he said.
‘Right now, I’m in a very big dilemma with boxing because I’m in my prime. I’m worn out basically, however, I’m still undefeated and still going.
‘How long will this last? How long can I keep going for? And what happens when it’s not there any more?

‘The answer to that question is that I don’t know and that’s why I’m back. There were four months when I was actually retired and refused a lot of money to come back and stuff to do other fights and things.
‘It was four months later and I had my little bit of being at home with the family, taking the kids to school and all that, and I was like what do I do?
‘I’m getting up in the morning, I’m getting up at half past six, going to bed at 9pm, going to the gym twice a day, but I don’t have a target to go to the gym for. I don’t know.’
