Tyson Fury has shut down any talk that he could be quitting boxing in the near future.

The WBC heavyweight world champion has been known to make loose retirement claims in the past and, following the postponement of his fight with Oleksandr Usyk, some fans theorised another such proclamation could be imminent.

Some fans even called for Fury to legitimately quit the sport.

However, the Gypsy King himself took to Instagram on Thursday to dismiss these suggestions.

In fact Fury, 35, has responded by mapping out a five-fight plan to take his career into his late-30s.

First of all, the Usyk clash has now been rescheduled for May 18.

As this is a two-fight deal with a guaranteed contracted rematch, they will likely meet twice this year.

After that, Fury said he will finally face Anthony Joshua in a long-awaited all-British super fight.

This could also be a two-fight deal.

And finally, Fury confirmed that he intends to rematch Francis Ngannou in future too.

“I keep hearing talk of people saying I should retire or I’m gonna retire soon or whatever,” Fury said in his Instagram video, “I ain’t retiring anywhere.

“I’ve got two fights with Usyk for undisputed, twice.

“Then I’m gonna fight AJ at least once, maybe twice, if there’s a rematch, if he wants one after the first battering I give him.

“And then I’m gonna fight Ngannou again, and that’s just the start.

“So there’s five little fights for you to whet your appetite with.

“I ain’t going nowhere, nowhere. I’m 35 years old in the prime of my life.”
