Tyson Fury’s wife Paris was spotted saying “no chance” as the Gypsy King opened up about his retirement plans following his stunning win over Dillian Whyte.
The Gypsy King retained the WBC World Heavyweight Championship with a technical KO win in his last fight, he said.
Fury, who sent Whyte on deck with a ferocious uppercut in the sixth round in front of 94,000 spectators at Wembley Stadium, said after the fight he would stick to his promise to his wife Paris to pull out.

Immediately after the fight, when asked about coming back in the ring, Fury said: “I promised my dear wife Paris, of 14 years, after the (Deontay) Wilder 3 fight that it would be time , and I meant it.
“I’ve had a war, it was a great trilogy and I meant it, but I was offered to fight at home at Wembley and I felt like I owe it to the fans, I owe it to every person in the UK to come here and fight at Wembley.
“Now it’s all done I have to be true to my word and I think that’s it, this could be the last curtain for the Gypsy King and what a way to go out.”
As the Gypsy King spoke, Paris was seen saying “no chance” while speaking to someone else in the ring.
Backstage after the fight, she recounted BT sport that Fury had “nothing left to prove” and the only reason he would get back in the ring was for a unification fight.
Paris said the only reason Tyson would return to the ring was for a unification match which would likely end up against the winner of the rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua (pictured above).
Asked if she felt Tyson owed her retirement, she said: “I’m doing a little bit, I want him to come home now, he doesn’t have anything else to prove.
“That’s the thing, if he had something to do I’d say, ‘Yes, Tyson, do it’, but he doesn’t have to prove anything.
“Unless he really wants to move on and he’s doing it for more money, fame, he doesn’t need that – he’s the most famous man on the planet tonight.
“He doesn’t need to be more famous. We are very blessed and lucky not to need money anymore.
“I mean the man did everything he could do, I mean I’m content with who we are and what we have and that Tyson keeps boxing it seems for what reason?
“I know in my heart the only reason Tyson would come back is for a unification fight.
“That would be the only reason Tyson Fury would come back in the ring as he has nothing left to prove. There’s nothing for him to keep boxing.’

A unification fight would likely be against one of Oleksandr Usyk or Anthony Joshua, who are expected to have their rematch in the summer.
All hopes were pinned on a dream British fight between Fury and Joshua before the latter lost his heavyweight title belts to Usyk last year.
The Gypsy King put on a dominating performance against Whyte from start to finish.
The ‘Body Snatcher’ was brought down by Fury’s evil uppercut and was unable to continue as referee Mark Lyson correctly waved him off.
After the fight, Tyson said: “Dillian Whyte is a warrior and I believe he will be world champion.
Fury declared himself one of the “greatest heavyweights of all time” after his win.
“But tonight I’m one of the greatest heavyweights of all time and unfortunately Dillian Whyte had to play me here tonight.
“There’s no shame, he’s a top gamer, he’s strong as a bull and has the heart of a lion.
“But you don’t mess with a mediocre heavyweight, you mess with the best man in the world.”
