Saudi Arabian boxing chief Turki Alalshikh has suggested he will try and talk Tyson Fury out of his latest retirement, but already has contingency plans for Anthony Joshua if a bout between the pair cannot be arranged.
Alalshikh, a member of the Saudi royal court and a major powerbroker behind the kingdom’s move into the sport, said he would give Fury some time but does not appear convinced that his decision to walk away is final.
