Tyson Fury's promoter plots fight with Joe Joyce just days after £500m claim

Tyson Fury's promoter wants the heavyweight champion to fight Joe Joyce despite claiming he would only return to the ring for £500 million.

The 'Gypsy King' declared his retirement after knocking out Dillian Whyte in a record- breaking event at Wembley Stadium back in April. However he since hinted that he could return to the ring to face the winner of Anthony Joshua's rematch against Oleksandr Usyk, before later declaring it would take £500 million to see him back in the ring professionally.

Arum believes that we will see the WBC champion back in the ring before the end of the year but will not entertain any fight offers from Saudi Arabia. “He’s going to fight, he’s a fighting man, and I expect Tyson Fury back in the ring before the end of the year," Bob Arum told Queensbury Promotions, when asked about Fury's £500 million demand.
