Even though Tyson Fury has announced his retirement from professional boxing, there are people who think that he will eventually return to the ring. People close to the former heavyweight champion such as Billy Joe Saunders and Peter Fury have both said publically that Tyson will return one day.
People especially want to see him return because of the very potential heavyweight showdown against Anthony Joshua.
Rapper Hunta posted a video on Instagram with Joshua, where the current heavyweight king confirms his next fight and calls Tyson Fury ‘an idiot’.

When asked who’s next, Joshua replied.
“The Bulgarian guy, Pulev,” said Joshua.
The rapper then wondered what happened to the aforementioned Tyson Fury-bout to which Joshua simply said:
“Fury is an idiot. He’s an idiot and you can put that out there!” shouted the boxer.
Joshua also made headlines recently when he said that he would be willing to fight in an MMA bout.
“I like fighting, I’d do whatever. I’d probably get beaten. The only thing that they can’t do is submissions, but they can kick, elbow, bite — whatever they want,” said Joshua in a recent interview with PA Sport.
The heavyweight champ will be defending his IBF against mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev in October or November this year. As for Tyson Fury, we’ll just have to wait and see if ‘The Gypsy King’ ever decides to return and fight Joshua.
