Tyson Fury has issued a shortlist of opponents for a potential exhibition bout - including Mike Tyson and The Rock.
Fury insists he remains retired from professional boxing despite his apparent U-turn earlier this week, but is determined to cash in on the lucrative exhibition circuit which has been plundered by the likes of Floyd Mayweather. The ring legend has fought three times in non-competitive bouts and raked in millions of dollars.
And Fury has set his sights on some of the biggest names in heavyweight history - as well as WWE legend Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. "I'm going to do some exhibition fights, they're not real fights, it's for the entertainment," he told Good Morning Britain. "This is not professional boxing, this is pure entertainment, that's all it is, nothing more, nothing less.
"The difference is, the exhibition you're not there to win or lose, you're there to put on a show for the fans. You can fight old-timers, famous people, whoever you want; I'm looking to fight Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Frank Bruno, or Dwayne Johnson, The Rock.
"I told [promoter] Frank Warren to show me the money and he has to if he wants me on those shows. [£200million], that's not a bad start, that would be alright."
Fury has flip-flopped over his retirement, claiming this week that he was ready to fight the winner of Anthony Joshua's rematch with Oleksandr Usyk before almost immediately backtracking.

"There’s always going to be that clamour – even when Joshua and Usyk are finished and there’s new contenders and champions, they will always ask Tyson Fury to come back as undefeated champion and fight these people," Fury said.
"But rumours are rumours. Until I say that I’m actually doing a fight, take me at my word. For now I’m done with professional boxing and I’ve moved on to other things, but you can never say never. You never know what the future holds."
Fury had been due to take on Joshua last summer to crown the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999. But the Brit was instead forced to fight Deontay Wilder for a third time, knocking out the American in the 11th round.
