The heavyweight world champion is now retired after beating Whyte
And he is now enjoying some well-deserved time off in Wilmslow, near to where he grew up in Styal, Cheshire.
Commenting on his decision to quit boxing, Fury said; “I promised my wife Paris and I meant it,” he said. “I had the trilogy with Deontay Wilder and she wanted me to retire then.
“But then I was offered this and I owed it to the fans and everyone at home in the UK.
“I have to be a man of my word so this might be the last fight. Thank you United Kingdom.”

Fury may not be resting for long however as minutes after his retirement statement he gave another interview alongside UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.
He then teased a fight with Ngannou, suggesting it could be boxing-UFC hybrid bout.
Fury said: “Going to be an explosive fight when it happens.”
Ngannou then said: “We’re going to find out who the Baddest Motherf***er on the Planet is?
“Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou in Africa, that would be the best one. The Rumble in the Jungle 2!
“Definitely sometime next year. 2023.”
The Gypsy King could have several months off even if he does fight Ngannou, and he is keen to fight in a different ring – a WWE one.
The WWE is returning to the UK for the first time in 30 years in September and Fury has not ruled out fighting in Cardiff.
The heavyweight world champion previously fought Brawn Strowman for the wrestling company, after his first fight with Deontay Wilder.
Fury may also have to spend the next few months helping out wife Paris after former boxer Carl Froch claimed she is pregnant once again.
