Fury had been tipped to negotiate a Battle of Britain clash against Anthony Joshua for later this year, but those plans have now been cooled by the Gypsy King who has made similar step-away claims before. Waving goodbye to the sport that has made Fury a two-time world champion, the veteran heavyweight stated: 'Hi everybody, I'm going to make this short and sweet,' he said in a clip he shared to social media.

God bless everybody, see you on the other side. GET UP!'. Boxing fans have cast unanimous doubt over Tyson Fury 's retirement announcement.
