Frank Warren, the longtime promoter of former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, says the boxer seems very happy in retirement.

Last month, Fury shockingly announced his retirement from the sport.

Back in December, he lost a twelve round decision in a closely contested rematch with unified world champion Oleksandr Usyk in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Many experts believe Fury will fight again - as the 'Gypsy King' announced his retirement on more than one occasion.

Warren is not convinced that his fighter will make a return.

“[He's] very happy. In a good place, spending time with his family, quality time," Warren told PA Sport. “He’s had a tough time the last 12 months in preparing for fights, not seeing his family, and he’s spending quality time with them. He’s got plenty of money, he’s comfortable, he doesn’t need to fight for money. He’s made a decision, and he’s got some real good projects, which he’ll be announcing soon, outside of boxing.

“I’m delighted, I’m delighted for him. Take his time – he doesn’t need to be doing anything. He was one of the best two heavyweights of the 21st century. He went to two fighters’ backyards – an adopted backyard of [Wladimir] Klitschko in Germany and won the world title, went to the States and fought the same guy [Deontay Wilder] three times and did a job on him, an absolute job in unbelievably exciting fights.

“But more importantly he beat his demons, when he was boozing, when he was doing things he shouldn’t have been doing, suicidal – that much away from doing things – and overcame that. So, he needs to go and enjoy his life, which is what he’s doing. He’s paid his dues, and this is the toughest of all sports, so go and enjoy yourself.”

There are still big fights out there for Fury - including a big British grudge match with Anthony Joshua.

Warren is not planning to push the scenario of a comeback.

“I would not even encourage him or discuss it with him. Whatever he wants to do, he does. If he did want to fight again, that’s because he’s a fighting man, he’s got a fighting heart. Me? [I say:] ‘Retire, enjoy life.’ I’m happy if he’s happy – and he should stay retired," Warren said.
