"Boxing is a dangerous sport," he added. "You can be taken out with one punch as we saw on Saturday night and it only takes one unlucky blow and you might not get up off that canvas. "I am quitting while I am ahead. I am undefeated and only the second man in history to retire undefeated heavyweight champion. I am very happy and contented in my heart with what I've done."
Fury has not ruled out competing under a different format and UFC heavyweight champion Francis NgannouHe said: "I have been away for the last 10 years all over the world for boxing. When do I get time to be a father, husband, brother or a son? I need this personal time. "I always said I wanted to walk away on top of the sport and do it on my terms. I didn't want to be the person who maybe should have retired two years ago.Top Stories
