After a spectacular knockout victory against domestic opponent Dillian Whyte in front of more than 90,000 fans at Wembley Stadium earlier this year, Fury claims to have retired from boxing.

The Gypsy King, on the other hand, is still linked to a bout with the winner of Anthony Joshua’s rematch with Olesksandr Usyk, which would unify the heavyweight division.

Despite his vows of retirement, Fury still has the WBC heavyweight belt and has yet to relinquish it.

“No, I still mean it, Piers. I am not going to be fighting anymore professional fights. I’m finished,” he told the TV host on Piers Morgan Uncensored.

“I don’t care who wins the fight [Usyk vs Joshua]. I wish them both all the luck in the world. I told you I was done seven weeks ago. And then there’s some talk me having some exhibition fights, but to be honest with you, I can’t see that coming off either. I’ve got no interest in fighting anymore… enough is enough for me.

“I put a ridiculous number on today. I said I’ll come back for half a billy, half a billion pounds. That’s 500 million. If that’s not ridiculous… I don’t know what is!”

Morgan asked Fury if he would pay him £1m if £500m was on the table, to which Fury replied: “If I am getting half a billion for my fight it won’t matter will it. Yep, 100%.”

But Fury’s wife Paris doesn’t believe her husband is quite finished yet.

“After his first fight with [Deontay] Wilder, I begged him not to fight again,” she explained. “And then he obviously fought on and he had the trilogy and then he’s fought again just the other day in Wembley. And he says he’s definitely quitting and he’s definitely finishing on top but there’s just still a glint in his eyes that I see.

“I just don’t know, I’d like him to retire. Everybody in his family, we’re all happy with everything he’s done, and he’s just done amazing. But I just don’t know there’s something in the back of my mind that thinks Tyson is still itching for certain fights. He tells me no and I would like to believe it. I’m just not quite there. I think I’m with the rest of the public thinking it!”
