Frank Warren feels Tyson Fury has earned the right to decide on his future after his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday night.
The boxing star had gone into the clash hoping to make amends following his defeat to the same opponent earlier in the year.
But it was Usyk who reigned supreme once again on Saturday night, with the 37-year-old winning via unanimous decision.
The result has caused controversy, with some figures feeling Fury was unlucky at being handed the second professional defeat of his career.

Though he has indicated he wants to keep fighting, some figures have already called for Fury to hang up his gloves for good.
And Warren insists the boxing star has earned the right to decide his next move, having been left ‘disappointed’ by the outcome of the clash.
“It’s up to him. It’s just after a fight and emotions are running high,” he said.
“It’s nuts. Did you only give him four rounds out of eight? I don’t get it.

“He’s very disappointed as I am as well. Everyone along the front [of the ring] thought it was all the same way.”
Eddie Hearn was also in attendance at the Kingdom Arena.
And Hearn admits that he found the bout too close to call after both men gave their all.
“I had it very close, I couldn’t split it,” he said.
