But John dismissed such claims, suggesting his son is just on the wind-up and would not know what to do without boxing.

Responding to the retirement talk, Fury Snr said: “Bulls***. Tyson is as mad as a box of frogs, where’s he gonna go without boxing?

“Boxing’s his life… Tyson’s the biggest wind-up merchant in the world, people should know him by now.”
