Tyson Fury recently urged fellow boxer Deontay Wilder to consider retirement, expressing concern for Wilder's health after their intense trilogy of fights. Fury and Wilder faced each other three times, with nine knockdowns between them. 

Their final bout, in October 2021, ended in an 11th-round knockout by Fury. Reflecting on their fights, Fury shared that their battles took a heavy toll on both fighters. 

He said on the Pound for Pound Podcast, "Between me and Wilder, there were ten knockdowns. It takes a lot out of a fighter." Fury added that he feels Wilder hasn’t looked the same in recent fights, like his bouts against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang.

However, Wilder doesn’t seem ready to retire just yet. His trainer, Malik Scott, shared with Boxing Scene that Wilder "definitely wants to fight again." Scott hinted at potential matchups in 2025, saying Wilder is currently resting, spending time with his family, and focusing on his businesses. He believes fans are still excited to watch Wilder in the ring and mentioned that a match with Anthony Joshua, although not as anticipated as before, could still draw a lot of interest.

For now, it seems Fury’s plea isn’t changing Wilder’s mind. The American boxer looks set to make his return to the ring, with fans eager to see him compete again. Source
