Tyson Fury has been told he should vacate his WBC belt if he is actually retired from boxing.
The 'Gypsy King' defended his heavyweight world title against Dillian Whyte in April before announcing his retirement, only to subsequently perform several U-turns. Several fights would be available for Fury if he elects to return including the winner of Anthony Joshua's rematch with Oleksandr Usyk which takes place this weekend.
Fury held talks in the meantime with former rival Derek Chisora over a third meeting years on from their two fights, but a deal never materialised which prompted the champion to once again confirm he was hanging up his gloves. Fury has now vacated his Ring Magazine belt in the aftermath of the news but is yet to vacate his WBC crown with a deadline approaching on August 26.
