Speaking at the post-fight press conference, Magny shared his perspective on retirement:

"I have no idea what a retirement fight looks like, so I can’t even put a number on it. Retirement isn't even on my radar," Magny stated. "After training, most guys hang up their gloves. I refuse to do that because it symbolizes the end. I want to hold onto these moments for as long as possible and fight as frequently as I can.

“The day will come when I can no longer do this – it’s inevitable for everyone. But as long as I’m able to continue and still love it, I’ll keep showing up.”

During his post-fight media availability, Magny addressed questions about his future:

"I haven't even considered what a retirement fight would entail, so I can't put a timeline on it," Magny told reporters. "Retirement is simply not on my mind. Unlike many fighters who hang up their gloves after training, I refuse to do so. For me, it symbolizes an end, and I'm eager to continue fighting as often as possible.

“The reality is that the day will come when I’m no longer physically able to do this. It’s a certainty for all athletes. However, as long as I maintain the ability and the passion for the sport, I’ll continue to compete.”
