Tyson Fury has 'too much pride' to retire after his loss to Oleksandr Usyk and will want a rematch with the Ukrainian.
Boxing promoter Ben Shalom is confident the pair will battle it out again following last weekend's thrilling encounter in Saudi Arabia.
Fury suffered his first professional defeat at the hands of Usyk in the first undisputed heavyweight fight this century.
The Gypsy King felt he deserved the judges' decision despite being knocked down by his opponent in the ninth round.
A rematch had already been agreed between the two fighters but doubts were raised in Fury's post-match press conference.
Shalom says the 35-year-old will take some time to mull over his future in boxing, with the likes of Johnny Nelson raising suspicion that he could hang up his gloves.
But Shalom thinks pride will eventually win and convince Fury that he can beat Usyk.
The promoter told Sky Sports: "I think he will want to let the dust settle.
"I think any of these fighters at this stage of their career, towards the end of their career and making this much money, retirement is always going to go through their head.
"But I think if you watch that fight again, there was a time in the fifth, sixth, seventh round before Usyk came on top where Tyson looked in cruise control.
"Did he lose concentration for a split second? Did he lose his way in the fight when Usyk found his feet?
"I think he will be kicking himself in a way, I think he will feel that he can do more, he can do better.
"I think he will take the rematch. There's just too much money, too much pride at stake and I think once the weeks are settled, he will be right in for the rematch."
A rematch, if it does occur, will likely happen in October this year.
Fury's promoter Frank Warren has suggested that it is likely another fight will take place.
Former British super-middleweight Leon McKenzie agrees with Shalom that Fury thought he was in more control than he actually was.

McKenzie suggested that the different voices in Fury's corner were to his detriment in the fight.
He said: "That is a great point in terms of control. Maybe he thought he was a little bit more in control than we thought.
"There was a lot of talk in the corner, obviously more than one person.
"I feel like even when you watch it back he was controlling it to a certain extent, it was very close, but he was finding his jab, he was finding certain shots.
"He wasn't getting caught properly so you could have sided with Tyson in terms of the first half of the fight."
