Tyson Fury has joked Liz Truss was in power for almost as long as his short-lived retirement from the ring.
Fury claimed to have hung up his gloves following his seventh-round stoppage win over Dillian Whyte in April, but has now announced he will return against Derek Chisora in December. And while he was taking part in a press conference with his heavyweight rival, Truss announced she was stepping down after just 44 days in the top job.
"She's stepped down? Has she? That was almost as brief as Tyson Fury's retirement that one," Fury joked when talking to BT Sport after the press conference. There will be 224 days between Fury's two fights, with today's official confirmation coming 180 days after he stopped Whyte.
