TYSON FURY HAS performed a U-turn on his retirement, by going back into retirement.
Fury retired after beating Dillion Whyte and has claimed on numerous occasions that he would not be returning to the ring.
But this week the ' Gypsy king' announced that he would not be hanging up his gloves and planned to return to the ring but has no done a 360 on that stance.
On Monday Fury officially announced his desire to return as he called out fellow heavyweight Derek Chisora, later saying long-term friend Isaac Lowe will replace SugarHill Steward as his new coach.
Fury is the current holder of the WBC world heavyweight title and it's been widely tipped that he will face Oleksandr Usyk after he fights the other challenger Anthony Joshua, which takes place on Saturday August 20.
