World heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, has disclosed he may quit boxing earlier to remain unbeaten in his career.
The heavyweight boxer is scheduled to fight Wladimir Klitschko in a re-match sometime this year but the Briton has hinted that he wants to retire without losing any fight,
Fury upset Klitschko to claim the WBA, IBF and WBO titles in November and is due to take on the Ukrainian in a rematch in May or June, but the 27 year said: "I'm struggling to get motivated.
"I could walk away. I could just sail into the sunset unbeaten with all the belts and live a normal life."
He added: "All that I would be boxing for is money and I always thought to myself I never want to let sport become about money."
Fury said he wants to spend a lot of time with his young family and is not interested in securing a legacy or winning more belts.
"I've accomplished a dream," he said. "It's about how much motivation I have to keep going on.
"There is life after boxing and I don't know what I'm going to do at the moment. I haven't even cemented I am going to fight in a rematch."
Fury revealed he had not returned to training in the ring yet, although he said he had been jogging and lifting weights.
Klitschko had not been beaten since 2004 and his second reign as champion included 19 successful defences. The 39-year-old took up his option of a rematch in December.
Fury says his shock victory in Dusseldorf, Germany will be the most significant of his career, no matter what he goes on to achieve.
"If I win another 50 fights, it's not going to mean as much," he said.
"I believe I'll be frozen in 2015 for the next 40 years, or however long I live for. Nothing's going to outdo that achievement." BBC
