Neil Warnock has never been far from making a wisecrack and on this occasion Tyson Fury is on the receiving end. On Monday Fury announced that he is retiring from boxing, thwarting hopes of a blockbuster clash with Anthony Joshua at Wembley this year. It comes less than a month after he lost again to Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia, claiming he was 'robbed' in their WBO, WBA and WBC heavyweight title rematch.
