TYSON FURY still has "more big fights" left in his career despite announcing his shock retirement. That's the view of boxing's biggest match maker. The unpredictable Gypsy King took to Instagram to hang up his gloves - for the fourth time in his career.

But Turki Alalshikh - Saudi Arabia's powerful boxing kingpin - hopes Fury will change his mind. Alalshikh said on talkSPORT: "First of all, this kind of decision has to be from the fighters. "It must be whatever they are thinking if they have something to give or not. As a fan of boxing, I don't like it.

"We want to see Tyson in more big fights, but I can understand his decision. But over time this decision can change.". Fury, 36, announced his latest retirement off the back of consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk, 37. But still a mega-money fight with Anthony Joshua, 35, remained on the table with Alalshikh backing the deal.

So he is ready to talk with Fury and try and tempt the two-time heavyweight world champion back - again. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS. Alalshikh said: "I will support him and discuss it with him. I will leave him for some time to be with his family, then we can discuss it.

"But a lot of rumours don't help us. No-one will propose £500 million for a fight, these numbers are incorrect.". Joshua, 35, was knocked out by Daniel Dubois, 27, in September and Fury fumed at the money he watched go up in smoke. "That's cost me £150 million, the silly c***," he said.
