Tyson Fury has still got a "good few years" of fighting left in him, according to Dan Rafael.

It comes as the Gypsy King is currently preparing to defend his WBC heavyweight title against Derek Chisora next month on December 3 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

What has Tyson Fury said about his boxing future?

Fury, 34, has repeatedly teased fans about his future plans over the past year alone, even sensationally retiring - albeit briefly - following his stunning knockout victory over Dillian Whyte in April.

But Rafael believes he still has plenty left to give the sport.

How long does Dan Rafael think Tyson Fury has left?

"Listen, he's still in his 30s," Rafael told GIVEMESPORT.com. "He's not an old man.

"He hasn't taken tremendous amounts of punishment. He seems pretty positive. I know he's done some bits for WWE here and there but he seems to be enjoying his boxing at the moment.

"He may have had issues outside of the ring where maybe he abused himself and that sort of thing, which, you know, he talks about on a regular basis. And, you know, it seems as though he's overcome those issues. Obviously that can take away from your longevity in any kind of sports career.

"But I think the way that Tyson has been fighting in his recent fights and the kind of condition he comes in, you know, he's a big dude but he comes in in pretty good condition. He moves very well still, like I said, he hasn't taken tremendous amounts of punishment. He's been knocked down a few hard times, you know, Deontay Wilder would tell you that.

"But I still think that Fury, based on who's out there for him to compete against and his own sort of expectations for himself and the desire that he has, if he wants to keep going I think he's still got a few good years left for sure. You know, he doesn't have that many professional fights, it's not like he's got 60 fights, in terms of numbers of bouts that's still relatively low. I think that Tyson Fury can still be a force for a while longer, for sure."
