WBC world heavyweight champion Briton Tyson Fury admitted that he fears serious psychological problems if he ends his professional career.
I can't quit boxing. Maybe there's a doctor or a psychologist or someone else who could really help me, because I think I need psychological help to let it go. If you ask me today what I'm boxing for, I don't have any goals or ambitions. I fight because I feel that I need boxing in my life to keep my sanity. Every day I fight for survival.
I don't know if I can survive without professional boxing. I've been on vacation for four months, but I've been training in the boxing gym twice a day, seven days a week. I can't stop training, so I almost feel sorry for "The Gypsy King".
