The outcome of the Shakespearean modern-day classic, where legacy was reborn, continues to resonate in the mind of Morning Star boxing writer JOHN WIGHT
PROMOTER Bob Arum does not think Tyson Fury will return to the ring after the former world champion announced his retirement in January.
Fury, 36, announced he had quit the sport several weeks after his second successive defeat to Ukraine’s current champion Oleksandr Usyk.
The British heavyweight had stepped out of retirement on three previous occasions, the latest in 2023, but Arum told the BBC 5 Live Boxing podcast he does not expect another U-turn.
