Tyson Fury has vowed to keep fighting after Saturday's rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury has dismissed thoughts of retirement, says Sky Sports: “I'm not interested in all that stuff. That stuff is for the lame! I'm ready for action. Satisfaction guaranteed.
“I love being in the ring and I love being around fight week and I love everything. It's really good stuff for me. I love every minute of it. That's why I'm still doing it at 36 years old.”
He is confident that he will beat Usyk when they fight at the Riyadh Season event, live on Sky Sports box office.
Fury has confined himself to a training camp in Malta in the weeks leading up to this rematch, reducing the size of his support team, not even speaking to his own wife, and so focused on his preparation.
A few days away from the contest, he is sure he has done everything he needs to beat Usyk, win the WBO, WBA and WBC titles and become a three-time heavyweight champion of the world -time.

“I'm in great shape and I'm in beast mode ready to get the job done,” Fury said.
“It's been good. It's been a tough camp, a tough, tough training camp. I've left no stones unturned and I'm ready for Saturday night. I can't wait.”
Promoter Frank Warren revealed that if Usyk loses this rematch, he is committed to a third bout with the Briton.
“If Tyson wins, he's under contract,” Warren said of the trilogy fight. “Unless somebody quits.
“If not, Usyk will have the belts and it would be a good unification between him and Daniel (Dubois, the IBF champion).”

But a loss could still set Fury up for a big fight with his British rival Anthony Joshua, who suffered a heavy fifth-round loss to Dubois in September.
“It's up to him. Who knows what he wants to do? If he wants to fight Joshua, if he's there, he's there. If he's not, he's not,” Warren said. .
“After the last fight, people would still buy into it, there's no doubt about it. “

“But it's boxing. I guess you know what you're getting into before you go into the match. You know what you're doing.”
But it doesn't seem like that pity will put him off from fighting Joshua in the future. “I'm inspired by the big paychecks and the big crowds and the big events,” he said.
“And as long as that's happening, I guess I'll continue to do what I need to do as well.”
