Tyson Fury will only have two fights inside the squared circle before embarking on a switch to UFC, according to former European champion Spencer Oliver.
The Gypsy King has been training in the Octagon with UFC middleweight Darren Till, who believes it's likely that he will have an MMA fight in the future.
And as per Sky Sports Boxing analyst Oliver, Fury has told him he will call it a day and move to UFC once his current contract is up.
"Tyson told me he's got 2 fights left in his contract, then he done with boxing," Oliver told talkSPORT.

"He said he's going into UFC. It's a new start, it's a new challenge for him. He was being deadly serious."
UFC president Dana White had previously doubted Fury's ability to come into his world but shared a video of him on the pads with Till and recently said he'd love to have him in his company.
"Right now I see him as the best in the world or one of the best in the world," White said.

"He'll play out the fights with all the other guys right now... I'd love to have him over here to fight...I'll see how it all plays out. But I do like him."
Fury is currently preparing for his rematch with WBC world champion Deontay Wilder but on Sunday night it emerged that the lineal heavyweight has parted company with trainer Ben Davison.
The coach says the two will remain friends and is confident Fury will beat 'the Bronze Bomber' in Las Vegas.
Relatively inexperienced in the boxing game, Davison was instrumental in Fury's dramatic weight loss of more than 100 pounds and subsequent sensational comeback.
