Eddie Hearn issues ultimatum to Tyson Fury over retirement

Tyson Fury's recent retirement announcement has thrown into doubt a highly anticipated summer bout with Anthony Joshua, with promoter Eddie Hearn warning that Fury must reverse his decision within the next three to four weeks for the fight to happen. This marks Fury's third retirement declaration, following his loss to Oleksandr Usyk. Hearn has secured potential dates at Wembley Stadium for May or June, but uncertainty surrounding Fury's commitment complicates planning. Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh has expressed a desire to discuss a possible return for Fury, although he acknowledges that the decision ultimately lies with the boxer. Meanwhile, Joshua remains eager for the fight, recognizing the limited time he has left in his career. If Fury remains retired, Joshua may pursue alternative opponents, such as Deontay Wilder.
