Spencer Brown, manager of former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (34–1–1, 24 KOs), revealed he had no idea his client was planning to announce his retirement from boxing.
– I didn’t know about it. Someone called and told me the video was already out. I rang him and said, ‘Real nice of you, thanks for the heads-up.’ He just laughed and said: ‘I went for coffee, made the decision, and realized this was the right moment.’
– Are you saying he decided just this morning?
– I think so, yeah. I spoke to him yesterday, and he didn’t mention anything. Yesterday we were talking boxing. He must have made up his mind this morning. Listen, he’s Tyson Fury.
Honestly, I’ll be shocked if he comes back, but who knows? For now, he’s retired, Brown stated.
