Tyson Fury’s pride is expected to weigh heavily in his decision to retire following his loss to Oleksandr Usyk. According to boxing promoter Ben Shalom, despite suggestions that he may retire after the loss, Fury’s determination and competitive spirit will likely propel him towards a rematch with Usyk.

Shalom expressed confidence in the possibility of a rematch between Fury and Usyk following their recent fight in Saudi Arabia, which marked Fury’s first professional defeat. Despite the defeat, Fury believes he deserved the judges’ decision and looks forward to another chance to prove himself against Usyk.

While there are doubts about Fury’s future in boxing, Shalom believes that Fury’s pride will prevail in the end, convincing him that he can defeat Usyk in a rematch. Despite retirement considerations, Shalom thinks the potential for a lucrative rematch and the desire to win again will likely motivate Fury to continue his boxing career.
