TYSON FURY may still be convinced to'stick around" after fighting Dillian Whyte despite his retirement claim.
The Gypsy King defends his WBC crown against Whyte at Wembley on April 23.
Tyson Fury said he would retire after fighting Dillian Whyte
He had previously promised to sweep the floor with his long-time opponent before sweeping the heavyweight titles.
Fury quickly reneged on his plans to be undisputed champion and announced that he would walk away from the UK after his homecoming.
Even though Bob Arum, his US promoter, questioned the decision.
FightHub spoke with Arum saying that he can speak and believes what he is saying, but he won't sign a contract that he will fight again.
"I think on second thought when he sees the world - like an Anthony Joshua fight, or Oleksandr Usyk battle - he might stay.
"He won't stay around to fight a secondary enemy.
"If he has another big fight, he will, in my opinion, undoubtedly, take that fight."
"But if it isn't, he won't spend time training and so on to fight a secondary opponent.

The picture for heavyweight remains murky with Joshua's rematch against Usyk being postponed.
35-year-old Usyk beat AJ in September and has bravely volunteered to fight for Ukraine during Russia's invasion.
Joshua, 32, has been offered an interim fight in the summer.
Fury has announced his retirement, but he will still fight Francis Ngannou (35), in the UFC in 2023.
Ngannou cannot compete outside the UFC, but his contract will expire this year.
Arum, Hall of Fame promoter, is now ready to fight for a huge-money cross-over fight.
He stated, "I believe absolutely that we want that to occur." Why not? It would be great to see that happen.

"I believe the MMA guy has an anterior cruciate ligament that's been repaired so he will be ready next year. That fight would do tremendous business."
"If he still has a contract with the UFC, which I don’t know if he does or not - it would be great to have that fight with Dana White."
"It would do records."
