Tyson Fury’s promoter Frank Warren has claimed the Gypsy King has ‘itchy feet’ to fight again despite the WBC heavyweight champion insisting he is retired.
Fury announced he was stepping away from the sport just moments after knocking out Dillian Whyte in April, but there has been plenty of talk from his camp that he may yet return to the ring.
Speaking to TalkSport, Warren suggested that the 33-year-old is waiting for the outcome of the second bout between Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua before deciding his next move.

‘He’s got itchy feet at the moment,’ said Warren. ‘He wants to fight.
‘I think what’s going to happen is see what happens on [August] 20th and the outcome of that and that’ll determine what he intends to do in the future.
‘My opinion – this is not from him, it’s from me – I think he will [return] because he’s a fighting man and he misses it.
‘That’s what he does, he wants to fight.’
Fury’s other promotor Bob Arum has seemingly backed Warren’s claims, saying he has been in contact with Usyk’s camp.

‘I’m hoping that Usyk wins because I have talked with his people and I think they would be anxious to fight Tyson Fury,’ Arum told Barbershop Conversations via Boxing Scene.
‘I am hoping to do that fight in December or early next year.
‘I just think Usyk is a better talent than Joshua and he is certainly quicker than him and I would like Usyk in the undisputed fight, but could it go the other way.’
Meanwhile, Eddie Hearn has admitted that he believes Fury is the best heavyweight in the world.

Fury knocked out Whyte in his last fight, but never faced off against Anthony Joshua
The 43-year-old told JaackMaate’s Happy Hour Podcast: ‘If you asked me right now who’s the best heavyweight in the world, I would say Tyson Fury.
‘Pains us to say it, but that’s facts.’
Hearn promotes Fury’s rival Joshua, as well as Usyk.
A long-desired all-British fight between Fury and Joshua never materialised, but Hearn could yet bet set for negotiations if Fury does decide to return to the ring.
