TYSON FURY declared that he will not retire before his WBC heavyweight title fight against Dillian Whyte.
Next week, the Gypsy King will face his British compatriot at Wembley in his first fight in England since June 2018.
In March, the 33 year-old stated that he wanted to retire with PS150million from his career earnings.
SugarHill Steward, his trainer, suggested earlier this month that nobody believed the unbeaten Mancunian would pack it in.
Fury's father, earlier this week, laughed at Fury's retirement talk and referred to his claims as "bulls ***".".
John Fury commented on the possibility that he would walk away. Tyson is mad as a box full of frogs. Where's he going to go without boxing?

"I respect the guy throughout the training camp. I have been training since January and have broken all records in the gym so I feel good, looking good.
"I don't underestimate this guy, and I have shown him the same respect that Deontay Wilder."
He said, "I'm so happy to be paid so well for the job that I love. It's been a wonderful career. These are my precious moments in time.
"They go by so quickly that even a 12-round fight seems to me like it took only two minutes when I was in the ring."
"I wish that I could spend all day fighting, smashing people in their faces.
It may seem crazy, but I love every minute of it. It's been 14 years, and I keep going.
