Boxing legend Tyson Fury has claimed that his sons ‘must’ get into boxing, and that it is inevitable further down the line.
The former heavyweight retired after his second defeat by Oleksandr Usyk back in December, with friends of Fury saying his gloves were ‘definitely’ hung up though he was not at peace with the loss.
Moreover, the 36-year-old Brit has told WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman he was glad to have quit.
Speaking at an Istanbul IBA Pro 7 event in Turkey, Fury was asked about his younger family members and he revealed that six of his nephews and all his sons – all four of whom are called Prince – were boxing.
‘I’ve got six nephews and all my sons are boxing, so it’s another conveyor belt of Fury express, and my son Prince just did his first six mile run recently, and only three months ago he couldn’t do two miles, so he’s smashing it,’ he told reporters.
‘I think it’s inevitable [that they will enter the professional game], I think they will, and I think they must. It’s a great sport, everything I’ve got I owe to the game boxing and I’m very appreciative.

‘I’ve had a love-hate relationship with boxing for going on 25 years. Like all great relationships it’s gonna be up and down but you make your bed, you lie in it, and I’m still very much in love with the game.’
The former heavyweight champion was also quick to underline that he sees no reason to end his retirement, having previously done so earlier in his career.
‘What would I be coming back for? I’ve won every belt, so yeah there’s not much to come back for. Does the love of the sport overthrow my own health?
The reporter responds in the negative, to which Fury concludes: ‘I think you’ve answered your own question there.’
While Fury has said he is happily retired, he clearly believes that the result of his last outing was an erroneous one.
He was beaten by Usyk on points, with all three judges scoring it in favour of the Ukrainian, who had already won the undisputed heavyweight crown in their previous meeting.
‘My last fight was a clear f***ing victory for the Gypsy King,’ Fury said after being asked about his future.
‘Anyone in boxing can see that, a complete load of dog s***. Political, whatever you want to call it, I never even did an interview I just got out the ring.

A chance at a trilogy fight with Usyk is the only thing that would bring Fury out of retirement
‘But I accept it, I’m a man, I don’t make excuses, on with the next thing. Got paid, got laid, got out of there, happy days!’
When later asked about Usyk’s fight with Daniel Dubois he added: ‘He’s coming off the back of two fights with me which is debatable whether he won them or not – he didn’t win them but he got the decision which is all that matters!’
As such, the conversation quickly turned to a potential trilogy fight, suggested by the Gypsy King himself.
‘If I was going to come back, I’d come back for Usyk – but I want a fair result, in England.
‘That would be the one I want immediately, the most fight that I want next.
‘I don’t want any favours, I want a fair fight with a fair result, which I know I didn’t. I thought I won it by five rounds, I’ve watched it literally 250 times and each way I never ever see there’s a way for him to win, but I know they can do what they want.
‘If they say it’s f***ing Tuesday, it’s Tuesday. I always said I never give a f*** about anybody’s opinion, until it f***ed up my f***ing life!’
