TYSON FURY has revealed he “CAN’T BE F****D” with boxing – or a multi-million-pound showdown with Anthony Joshua.
The Gypsy King announced his fifth retirement from the sport in January after losing his unbeaten record in back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury, 36, is seemingly happy as Larry with his decision to call it quits, which will allow him to spend more time with his wife Paris and their seven children.
And, according to cousin Andy Lee, there’s no sign of Fury making yet another retirement U-turn.
The former WBO middleweight champ told iFL TV: “[It’s] just the odd message here and there and he seems vey happy.
“[He said], ‘Andy I’m not f****d.’ That’s what he said. ‘I couldn’t be f****d with it.’ He’s very happy.”
When asked if he wants to see his cousin lace them up again, Lee added: “As bad as it sounds, it depends what the figure is for Tyson.
“It has to motivate him to come out of retirement. He seems very happy.”
Boxing fans around he globe are keen for Fury and Joshua to finally settle their score, even though they’re well past their primes.
But not Lee, who said: “I don’t really care if they fight each other.
“I’d be happy to see them retire or go about their careers separately. If they do fight, I’d be backing Tyson, I think he’d win.”
Saudi boxing supremo Turki Alalshikh is keen to pit Fury, who he recently had a phone call with, against former two-time heavyweight champ Joshua.
AJ is refusing to give up on the Battle of Britain, telling IFL TV: “I feel like it’s the best fight [for me].
“People might say [Joseph] Parker, people might say – I don’t know.
“But I think Fury, commercially, is a great fight and it’s a great man’s fight as well. So I think it makes sense.
“You could say it’s been years in the making. But listen, the heavyweight division has been thriving.
“And why I say it’s probably still a great fight is as I said Parker is, for me, a great story of someone that never gives up.
“And the thing is, there is going to be one winner and one loser and there’s going to be bloodshed. And it ain’t gonna be mine.”
