Tyson Fury given Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk demand despite retirement

Lennox Lewis has encouraged Tyson Fury to extend his boxing career and try to become the undisputed heavyweight world champion.

Fury added another chapter to his stellar fighting legacy with a win over Dillian Whyte at Wembley on Saturday. The Gypsy King earned a sixth-round stoppage, landing a perfect uppercut on his opponent's chin and finishing the bout.

Afterwards, Fury made it clear that he will follow through on his pre-fight promise to walk away from boxing. He did indicate he would be open to exhibition opportunities though, as well as another stint in the WWE.
