Anthony Joshua’s ‘bubble has burst’: Tyson Fury not interested in reversing retirement for all-British clash
“But rumours are rumours; until I say that I’m actually doing a fight, take me at my word. For now I’m done with professional boxing and I’ve moved on to other things, but you can never say never. You never know what the future holds.”

Fury further downplayed the appeal of an in-ring meeting with Joshua, bringing up the former two-time champion’s losses to Usyk and Andy Ruiz Jr – the only two defeats of AJ’s professional career.
“He’s been bounced off the canvas by a little fat fella, then he’s been comprehensively outboxed and battered by a middleweight who nobody had heard of until he beat AJ,” Fury said.
“I don’t see what the big clamour is. If he’d been undefeated like [Deontay] Wilder, and everyone thought he could batter me, then it’s challenging. Joshua might need me, but I don’t need him nor what he can bring.
“The only thing these fighters come back for is the money. As Clark Gable said in many movies: ‘Quite frankly, I don’t give a damn.’ The money is not tempting to me. I live in Morecambe and shop in Asda. And if I had a trillion dollars, I couldn’t live any differently to the way I live now.
“There’s nothing I want or need from a comeback. I’ve won every belt in boxing, every award there is to win. There is nothing at this present moment that would tempt me back.”
