Tyson Fury rubbishes claim he could fight Anthony Joshua days before World Cup final

Tyson Fury has dismissed reports he has held talks over fighting Anthony Joshua or Oleksandr Usyk in December.

Fury announced his retirement following his stoppage win over Dillian Whyte at Wembley in April, despite the prospect of a money-spinning undisputed clash against the winner of Joshua's rematch with Usyk. His promoter Bob Arum suggested Fury would come out of retirement if presented with the right opportunity, and the Daily Mail claimed talks had started.

But Fury took to social media to say: "This is all news to me! Biggest load of rubbish ever!" The report on Friday claimed the fight had already been pencilled in for December 17 in Saudi Arabia, between the semi-finals and final of the World Cup in Qatar.
