Fury‘s ambitious five-fight plan, which has been jeopardized by the postponement of a highly anticipated bout with Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia.
Fury‘s decision to delay the fight came after he sustained a cut to his eye during a sparring session, forcing the bout to be rescheduled from its original date of February 17.
Critics have called for Fury to retire from boxing, especially after his lackluster victory over Francis Ngannou in October. Even Usyk‘s camp has joined in the calls for Fury to hang up his gloves.
However, Fury remains adamant that he will not retire and is planning to have as many as five more fights before closing out his professional career.
What did Carl Froch say?
Fury has stated that he intends to fight Usyk twice, with the first bout scheduled for May 18, before focusing on Anthony Joshua. He aims to have two highly anticipated fights with Joshua, as well as a rematch with Ngannou before retiring.
Carl Froch, however, has cast doubt on the feasibility of Fury‘s plan. He believes that Fury‘s decision to continue fighting will depend on his performance in the first bout with Usyk. If Fury is soundly defeated, Froch suggests that he may decide to retire due to a lack of desire or energy to continue.
