Speaking to TalkSPORT, Warren reacted to the news: “He’s retired, I’m not going to ring him and try to debate with him.”

“I said immediately after that fight, ‘Go away with your family, consider what you have got to do.”

Reflecting on Fury’s career, he said: “‘You are a very wealthy man, you have done everything you have to do in boxing, you have had the most magnificent career – a two-time heavyweight champion.”

“And we are going to miss him, boxing is going to miss him,” said Warren.

“He has been a magnificent champion in the ring…

“I’ve got to be honest. I didn’t know what he was going to do but as I said at the start of this, no matter what he wants to do, I am with him 100 per cent.”

Fury had been linked to a highly anticipated clash with Anthony Joshua, but that dream fight is now off the table. Looking back on Fury’s career, it has been a rollercoaster ride with incredible highs and significant lows. He has dazzled both in and out of the ring, and his absence will leave a void in the world of boxing.
