'Retire on the spot!' - Fury lambasts 'leisure centre' Chisora-Wilder bout
Ultimate Tier: PPVs & 185 fight nights included

Tyson Fury has laid into Derek Chisora and Deontay Wilder, stating he would "retire on the spot" if he fought like either man.

'Del Boy' and 'The Bronze Bomber' enjoyed a messy, madcap heavyweight slugfest at London's The O2 Arena last Saturday.

In what was the former's farewell bout, the latter edged a split-decision to take the victory and reignite his contender status.

But Fury, who enjoyed unbeaten trilogies with both men, has criticised the quality of their fight, admitting it left him dispirited.

"I've never seen two men slide as much as these two," he told BBC Radio 5 Live. “If I looked like that, I’d retire on the spot.

"They look like a couple of club fighters from a white-collar match in a local leisure centre. It was sad for me to watch."

Fury returns to the ring this weekend in pursuit of his own comeback swansong, after reversing his retirement in January.

'The Gypsy King' faces Arslanbek Makhmudov, in a bout he hopes will lead to a super-bout with Anthony Joshua this year.

Tyson Fury is seldom a man to mince his words, so his blunt comments on Derek Chisora and Deontay Wilder have heft.

'The Gypsy King' won five out of six combined bouts with the pair and drew the other too, so he does have credit here.

Nevertheless, whether he means to or not, it does ramp up the pressure on Fury to deliver himself when he returns too.

This Saturday's test against Arslanbek Makhmudov will offer a serious glimpse into how the Briton has fared since 2024.

If Fury can uncork the champagne performance he desires, there will be no concerns. For his own sake, he will hope he can.
