    TYSON FURY still has “more big fights” left in his career despite announcing his shock retirement.That’s the view of boxing’s biggest match maker.Tyson Fury with Saudi boxing chief Turki AlalshikhCredit: @turkialalshikThe unpredictable Gypsy King took to Instagram to hang up his gloves – for the fourth time in his career.But Turki Alalshikh – Saudi Arabia’s powerful boxing kingpin – hopes Fury will change his mind.Alalshikh said on talkSPORT: “First of all, this kind of decision has to be from the fighters.”It must be whatever they are thinking if they have something to give or not. As a fan of boxing, I don’t like it.read more in boxing “We want to see Tyson in more big fights, but I can understand his decision. But over time this decision can change.”Fury, 36, announced his latest retirement off the back of consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk, 37.But still a mega-money fight with Anthony Joshua, 35, remained on the table with Alalshikh backing the deal. So he is ready to talk with Fury and try and tempt the two-time heavyweight world champion back – again. Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSAlalshikh said: “I will support him and discuss it with him. I will leave him for some time to be with his family, then we can discuss it.”But a lot of rumours don’t help us.

But AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn warned Fury has no more than four weeks to make a retirement U-turn and fight Joshua.Hearn told the Daily Mail: “None of us know what Fury will do next, but if we are to see the fight in the summer, he would probably have to come out of retirement in the next three or four weeks.”After that, the summer gets difficult for a fight of this size. The future? Hopefully.”I think he will be back, but it’s in his hands. For AJ, we have options to pursue and we are looking at them currently.” Alalshikh with Anthony Joshua and Eddie HearnCredit: Getty More

He was sacked in January 2024 with Birmingham down in 20th. The club were relegated to League One at the end of the campaign.He returned to management in May with Plymouth Argyle but managed just five wins in 25 games. The United legend now finds himself out of work once again. More
