Coupled with domestic and international honours, the Gypsy King has almost done it all in the ring.

But the Central Area title is the only missing piece from his collection and it is currently held by respected journeyman Chris Healey, 34.

Fury, 34, said: “I’ve won every single belt in boxing, apart from one belt and that belt is the Central Area heavyweight championship of Britain.

“So, I’m calling out whoever is the Central Area heavyweight champion, I’m calling you out. That’s my belt, I want it, I haven’t got it.

“It’s the only belt I haven’t won and I want it, so I’m coming for whoever you are, come on.”

Healey is a recognisable face among the British boxing circuit, having fought top prospects.

He has shared the ring with Fabio Wardley, 27, and David Adeleye, 25, on Fury’s undercard in April at Wembley.

Later that night, Fury knocked out Dillian Whyte, 34, and announced his retirement from boxing.

Although it was short lived as he prepares to return on December 3 while currently in talks with Derek Chisora, 38.

Fury had wanted to face Oleksandr Usyk, 35, in a unification after the Ukrainian boxing hero beat Anthony Joshua, 32, for the second time.

But Usyk is ruled out until next year having returned to his war-torn home for the first time following a period training away.

That caused Joshua to receive a shock deal to fight Fury, but terms could not be agreed.

Fury then turned his attention to Chisora, who he convincingly beat in 2011 and 2014, with promoter Frank Warren confirming talks are ongoing.
