British heavyweight Tyson Fury has admitted he may retire after his world title fight against Wladimir Klitschko this month.
Fury, who is currently undefeated, will take on reigning champion Klitschko for his WBA, IBF and WBO belts in Dusseldorf on November 28.
“After this fight, I won’t have anything else to achieve and I’m on to a new part of my life,” Fury told BBC Sport.
“If I’ve not got the motivation to carry on anymore; then, what would be the point?”
The bout was initially scheduled for last month, but Klitschko pulled out with a calf injury. Fury says motivation could also be an issue for the Ukrainian.
“He’s got tons of money, he’s been successful for 11 years as a champion. What more does a man need? That’s what’s going to let him down on the night,” he said.
“But you’ve got to give him credit where credit is due because to take on a young, ambitious guy like myself who’s taller, bigger, faster, younger is a challenge in itself.”
