Tyson Fury dismisses insinuations that he will come out of retirement to fight Joshua
Retired loquacious British boxer Tyson Fury has cast even more doubt over a showdown with Anthony Joshua coming to fruition.
The Gypsy King seemingly put the final nail in the coffin of the long-overdue domestic dust-up last month by announcing his fifth retirement.
Boxing fans and pundits alike aren't buying what the Wythenshawe warrior is selling and reckon he's hung up his gloves again to bump up his payday for the AJ fight.
But he recently told promoter Frank Warren that he's "happy" with his current life after boxing.
The Queensberry Promotions chief revealed on The Ariel & Ade Show: "Can he walk away from the sport? He says he has.
"And at this moment in time, he said to me, he's really in a good place and that he's very happy.
"And that, for me, is important that he is happy and that he's in a good place.
"He's been one of the best two heavyweights of the 21st century.
"And I just want him now to enjoy his family and his life. He had a hard year last year.
"Three training camps one after another, one fight got cancelled because he got the cut eye.
In a video on his social media pages, he said: "Hey everybody, I am going to make it short and sweet.
"I would like to announce my retirement from boxing.
"It has been a blast and I have loved every single minute of it.
"I'm going to end with this - Dick Turpin wore a mask.
"God bless everybody and see you on the other side."
