Tyson Fury ready to come out of retirement and calls out opponent for UK fight

Tyson Fury told Oleksandr Usyk that he is ready to come out of retirement for a third fight, telling the Ukrainian that he will be ready "any time, any place". Fury quit professional boxing in January after losing their second bout, but has laid out demands for their trilogy to be completed in the United Kingdom.

Fury commented on an interview that Usyk gave to , where Usyk claimed that Fury had not truly hung up his gloves. In response, Fury wrote: "Beat the f***er two times and the world knows the truth. Anytime any place. sucher(sic) uk next time 100k people."

Usyk will fight Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium on July 19 in a rematch and claimed he has one more bout in him before retirement.

When asked who that last contest could be with, Usyk replied: "Maybe it's Tyson Fury. Maybe it's Anthony Joshua."

Pressed further on the prospect of taking Fury on again, the 38-year-old added: "He's not retired. I think Tyson will continue training, continue boxing, because he's a great man. Yes, Tyson Fury... a lot of speak - blah blah blah blah - but it's good. Great man, wow."

The Gypsy King had linked up with trainer SugarHill Steward on Monday, fueling speculation that he is gearing up for a return to the ring.

In good spirits, Fury said during a social media video: "Just in the gym, I bump into somebody you might know."

Steward added: "We're back guys, you know what time it is."

Then Fury gave perhaps his most telling hint yet at a retirement U-turn, saying: "You know what's coming."
