Tyson Fury fans convinced heavyweight will fight again after latest retirement claim

Tyson Fury has reiterated his plan to retire from boxing - but his fans are utterly unconvinced.

Fury stopped Dillian Whyte at Wembley last month to retain his heavyweight world title before insisting he will hang up his gloves. The Brit will hold talks with the WBC in the coming days over whether he plans to relinquish the belt he won from Deontay Wilder in 20202.

Fury claims he is willing to return for exhibition bouts against the likes of UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, but that he will not add to his 33 professional boxing bouts. And in a video posted to social media, he said: "Just finished a lovely four-mile run along the promenad and got a great sweat on. I'm very, very happy and content to be retired. It's been a long time coming, I'm so much enjoying my retirement."
