DEONTAY WILDER claims a mystery problem will force Tyson Fury to retire from boxing.
The American heavyweight reckons that the saga over Fury’s on-off status as an active fighter will be brought to an end by circumstances outside of his control.
Wilder lost twice to Fury in their epic trilogy, with Fury snatching the Bronze Bomber’s WBC crown.
And Wilder claims Fury hanging up his gloves will open up the whole heavyweight division, ahead of the huge clash between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk.
Wilder told Boxing News 24 and Fighthype: “Yeah, I think he’s going to have to retire. I mean, he’s going to have to. Yeah, a lot of stuff is going on.

“I’m not even going to get into it, but it’s looking like he’s going to have to.
“Once that happens, all things are up for grabs. I can’t give too much information out. I don’t really want to discuss it.
“There are going to be a lot of changes in the division, opportunities, and a lot of different things lined up. Stay tuned.”

Wilder faces Robert Helenius in Brooklyn, New York, next month.
And it sounds like he still has hopes of being a world champion, especially if Usyk defeats Brit AJ in Saudi Arabia.
Wilder added: “I’m going with Usyk in this fight against Joshua.
“I’ve said that. I’m sticking with my word on this fight.”
