Tyson Fury confirms he is out of retirement and keeping belt for Oleksandr Usyk fight

Tyson Fury has decided to keep his heavyweight world title and will now look to fight Oleksandr Usyk later this year.

Fury has performed several U-turns after first announcing his retirement after defending his title successfully against Dillian Whyte in April. He then flip-flopped between offering to fight Anthony Joshua for free and demanding £500million to fight Oleksandr Usyk.

And last week, after failing to secure a third fight with Derek Chisora, Fury insisted he was retired in an official statement on his 34th birthday. Shortly afterwards The Ring magazine confirmed Fury had vacated his title which was the biggest hint yet the Brit was hanging his gloves up for good.
