Tyson Fury confirms he will NOT return to boxing and says promoter Bob Arum's retirement U-turn claims are 'news to me' | The Sun
TYSON FURY has insisted he will stay retired as he insisted his promoter Bob Arum's claim he would fight again were "news to me!"
The Gypsy King hung up his gloves after beating Dillian Whyte at a packed Wembley Stadium in April.
He has since insisted that his retirement is real, but Arum has major doubts and stated that the WBC heavyweight champ would pull on the gloves again.
However, the 33-year-old Fury has responded to those remarks in a video posted on to his social media to dash any hopes of seeing him in the ring.
While working out on an exercise bike, the star said: "I've just read today that I'm supposed to be coming out of retirement.
"That's news to me. As far as I'm concerned I'm staying."

The 90-year-old Arum had hinted at a Fury return, saying: "Tyson Fury is retired and he will be retired until we come to him with the next big event and then he will unretire."
While talking to Fight Hype, the veteran promoter added: "Well, I think Fury is going to wait to see how the [Anthony] Joshua fight comes out with [Oleksandr] Usyk, and then he'll make a determination whether he wants to continue.
"Other than fighting the winner of Joshua-Usyk, there's really nothing that's really of interest to Tyson Fury, so we will have to see."
Fury has not yet vacated his belts, despite his retirement.
