TYSON FURY has been backed to keeo fighting until he takes on the winner of Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury announced he will hang up the gloves after his sensational knockout win against Dillian Whyte.
Wallin gave Fury one of the biggest scares of his career
But an undisputed title decider could await following the rematch between AJ and Usyk this summer.
And Otto Wallin – who gave Fury 47 stitches in their 2019 fight- cannot see his old rival walking away just yet.
The Swede, 30, told iFL TV: “I’m having a hard time seeing him retire. If he can have some time off now, enjoy his family, and be with his kids.
“After we see the Joshua-Usyk rematch, if he can have that winner, I’m really having a hard time seeing him retire.

“If he can get the winner there and unify all the belts, how can you retire?”
Joshua, 32, was beaten by Usyk, 35, in the summer and their contracted rematch looks set for July.
Even Fury’s wife Paris revealed the unification super-fight is all that could tempt the Gypsy King back.
She told BT Sport: “For Tyson to keep boxing, it just seems for one reason and I know in my heart, I think the only reason that Tyson will come back is for the unification fight.”
