Andy Lee has opened up on a recent conversation with Tyson Fury.
Fury, 36, announced he was hanging up the gloves for good after suffering back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk.
There had been much speculation surrounding a potential fight between Fury and Anthony Joshua in 2025, but the Morecambe fighter took to social media to deliver bad news to UK boxing fans.
In a video the former WBC champion said: “I’d like to announce my retirement from boxing, it’s been a blast. I’ve loved every single minute of it.
“I’m going to end with this, Dick Turpin wore a mask. God bless everybody, see you on the other side.”

Andy Lee who is Fury’s second cousin and coach has revealed that ‘The Gypsy King’ isn’t bothered with a return to the ring.
He told iFL TV: “As bad as it sounds I don’t care about Fury fighting Joshua, and it depends what the figure is.
“I think he’s quite happy now, it has to motivate him to come out of retirement.
“They are both great fighters, but if they were to fight, obviously I’d be backing him and think he’d win.
“Just the odd message we have had here and there, but he sounds very happy.
“And he said ‘Andy I’m not f****d, I couldn’t be f****d with it. He seems very happy, simple as that.
“He was up in Scotland, going here there and all over the place, but he seems very happy.”
Will we see Fury fight again? Let us know in the comments.
