Anthony Joshua believes Tyson Fury will make a return to boxing if a huge fight is presented to him despite claiming he has now retired from the sport.
Fury recently defeated Dillian Whyte in a record-breaking contest at Wembley Stadium before confirming the outing would be his final fight in the ring.

"If Fury will come out and honour the gentleman's agreement there is a lot of money to be made.
