TYSON FURY has sensationally claimed he wants up to 20 fights in 2023.
Fury, 34, is gearing up for Saturday’s trilogy bout with fellow British heavyweight Derek Chisora on December 3 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
That is after the Gypsy King claimed he had retired following his win over Dillian Whyte in April before making a major U-turn.
The undefeated boxer has now stated he is keen to emulate the greats of old and fight up to 20 times in 12 months.

Fury said: “I was at home, I did everything I wanted to do. I wanted to spend some time with my family. I wanted to be that father.

“The kids, the school runs and all that, the dog, I wanted to do all that sort of stuff.
“Then I realised that’s for normal people and I’m anything but a normal person.
“I’m like an abnormal alien. I only thrive when I’m in training camp for a fight.
“I really don’t know what’s going to happen in the future when that is not an option anymore. I’m pretty f****d up, I think.”
