Tyson Fury could RETIRE from boxing again following Oleksandr Usyk fight collapse

Tyson Fury could retire from the sport AGAIN after missing out on an undisputed fight with Oleksandr Usyk.

The 'Gypsy King' was in negotiations with unified world champion Usyk over a potential battle to crown the first undisputed king of the division since Lennox Lewis in 1999. The fight was pencilled in for April 29 at Wembley Stadium but negotiations hit a snag after Usyk walked away from the negotiating table after being left frustrated by the WBC title holder's demands to remove a rematch clause.

This is the latest big fight that Fury has been unable to reach an agreement for having missed out on multiple occasions to settle his long-term feud with native counterpart Anthony Joshua. The 34-year-old had announced his retirement from the sport after beating Dillian Whyte last year but decided to make a comeback to pursue Usyk, beating Derek Chisora in a warm-up fight last December.
