Tyson Fury insists he is still retired just hours after Oleksandr Usyk vow

Tyson Fury has made a U-turn on his U-turn by insisting he will not fight again - hours after admitting he was willing to take on Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury initially announced his retirement following his stoppage win over Dillian Whyte at Wembley in April but this week revealed he is willing to return for an undisputed fight - at the right price. But the undefeated Brit has backtracked once again to claim he will only pull on a pair of gloves for an exhibition bout.

"As far as I'm concerned I'm happily retired; happy and content with my career," he told Good Morning Britain. "Never say never, but as far as I'm concerned, me and professional boxing are kaput. Enough is enough, I'm happy to do the showbiz side of boxing."
