Tyson Fury admits he cannot retire from boxing until fighting Anthony Joshua after years of failed talks between rivals

TYSON FURY admitted he cannot retire from boxing until finally fighting Anthony Joshua.

The pair have spent years failing to agree terms for a Battle of Britain bout, most recently for December.

Tyson Fury admitted he cannot retire from boxing until fighting Anthony JoshuaAnd it leaves Fury unable to walk away until he settles the score with Joshua in the ring once and for all.

He said on The High Performance podcast: “I don’t think I can retire today.

“Because I need that Joshua fight. We have been trying to make that fight for years.

“It’s the fight that people want to see. It’s the fight that I want to see as a boxing fan.”;

Fury, 34, said he was walking away from the sport in April after he knocked out Dillian Whyte, 34, at Wembley.

But that lasted just a matter of months as a unification bout with Oleksandr Usyk, 35, or grudge match with Joshua, 33, proved too tempting.

In the end, Fury had to settle for a trilogy bout on December 3 with Derek Chisora, 38, who he has twice beaten in one-sided fashion.

And it leaves the door open to super-fights with Usyk and AJ next year, with the Gypsy King claiming he could box into his 50s.

Fury admitted it would be a crime for boxing fans if he does not fight Joshua, having shared the ring with Deontay Wilder, 37, three times.

He said: “For the last four or five years, there has been this three-headed monster: me, Wilder, Joshua.

“Joshua and Wilder have been slain, and I’m the last one standing.

“All of a sudden, you’ve got some new people coming up now – Joe Joyce, Daniel Dubois, Usyk’s gate-crashed the party.

“Now there’s a load of new blood that wasn’t there five years ago and it’s like, ‘can you beat this person?’.

“But I think it would be an absolute dying travesty if me and Joshua didn’t fight in this era.”;
