Frank Warren hints Tyson Fury 'comeback' must wait for one thing to happen first

Frank Warren has hinted that Tyson Fury will return to the boxing ring and make a comeback after getting 'itchy feet' after announcing his retirement almost four months ago. Although Warren expects a comeback will happen, he believes Fury will only made a decision after seeing the result of Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk next weekend.

Fury has been keeping up his usual training routine despite confirming multiple times that he is retiring after beating Dillian Whyte at Wembley in April to retain his world champion status. The 33-year-old has not surrendered his belts yet, however, suggesting that he could well be plotting a return to the ring.

It has been suggested that the undefeated Fury would come out of retirement to fight the winner of Joshua vs Usyk's rematch which takes place in Saudi Arabia next weekend.

Speaking to talkSPORT, Warren said that he'll wait to see he winner of Fury and Usyk. "He’s got itchy feet at the moment, 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,” he said.

"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.

"I don’t want him to retire and come back in three years. If he’s going to retire, don’t come back. If you’re going to come back, fight in your prime. Three years later you change. I genuinely don’t think he’s at his peak yet."

In a video posted to Instagram last month, Fury addressed recent rumours of his retirement, saying: "Second session of the day, smashing it! Come on guys. I just read today that I am supposed to be coming out of retirement? That's news to me, As far as I'm concerned, I'm staying [retired]."
