The Gypsy King backed to step into the ring for unification bout
Tyson Fury’s vow to hang up his gloves following an explosive knockout win over Dillian Whyte isn’t being taken too seriously by William Hill, who make the Gypsy King 11/10 to fight again this year and just 4/11 to enter the ring before the end of 2023.
Fury can be backed at 2/1 to not take a fight before the end of 2023, while the bout most boxing fans want to see, Fury v Anthony Joshua, is evens to happen in the same time period.
Meanwhile, Fury has been cut from 16/1 to 10/1 to be named BBC Sports Personality of the Year following last night’s win.
William Hill spokesperson, Tony Kenny, said: “There’s still business to be done for Tyson Fury. A unification bout could be on the table soon and we make Fury 4/11 to fight before the end of 2023 and 11/10 to step into the ring again this year.
“Fury is a crowd-pleaser, and nothing would satisfy the masses more than a dust-up with Anthony Joshua. That fight would surely draw Fury out of retirement and we make it evens to happen before the end of next year.
“Whether he fights again or not, we think Fury has earned the right to be in the mix for SPOTY and he’s been cut to 10/1 from 16/1 after Saturday night.”
