TYSON FURY has been urged by his dad John to retire from boxing NOW and spend time with wife Paris and their five children.

The Gypsy King's father also revealed his son is actively thinking about hanging up the gloves for good after beating Deontay Wilder to be crowned WBC king on Saturday night.

Wilder wants revenge in a trilogy fight against Fury but the world wants to see the Brit take on fellow countryman Anthony Joshua in an absolute blockbuster.

If it was up to John, though, his boy would call time on his career now after completing the mother of all comebacks from addiction and depression.

John told Good Morning Britain: "I want my son to retire now. He's done enough.

"It's been an uphill battle for him. He's done enough. I want him to pack it in now.

"I think it's in the back of his mind. He can't do anymore. He's won every professional title. Enough is enough. There's more to life now. He's given it his all.

"He's got no more to prove. He's proved he's been a worthy champion from this country. He's been 13 years as a pro and he's always been the opponent.

"Whatever he's gone into, it's been an uphill battle for him.

"He's 32 years old. He's got a young family and I do believe his children deserve their father.

"He's done enough and that's my opinion."

John is also against the idea of the titanic Battle of Britain against Joshua – in which Tyson would bag £100million.

Quizzed on Fury vs Joshua, John added: "I don't agree with that because when you're sold one point, five more come into play. Where does it end?

"I think Joshua… Tyson'd proved he's above that level. Joshua's lost to a lot lesser man than Deontay Wilder.

"You've seen the rematch. Would it be much of a contest? He's a good fighter Deontay Wilder, he's done a great job. It's a young man's game, let the young guns come through and have a go."

For his part, Tyson has opened the door to taking on Joshua, with AJ's promoter Eddie Hearn saying he is desperate for the fight to take place.

But Fury also suggested that bout could be his last.

Talking about Joshua, he said: "I've got another old fella across the pond who might want a little tickle. Then that is it then. It's completed. Done."
