Zhilei Zhang didn't give a pick when asked about a possible fight between the two aging heavyweights, adding that he wish the fight happened when it was more relevant.

In this week’s mailbag, we tackle the latest retirement announcement from former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder’s comeback foe, Naoya Inoue’s late replacement opponent, Artur Beterbiev’s short turnaround time, Teofimo Lopez turning down Subriel Matias, and Erislandy Lara’s run of knockouts.

Promoter Eddie Hearn said Anthony Joshua is likely going to start training later this month ahead of a return to the ring in May or June.

Tyson Fury announced his retirement from boxing yesterday, yet many believe it was no more than a negotiating tactic and that he will, as he has done before, return when the right offer comes in. He mentioned Dick Turpin, while everyone else thought about The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

Tyson Fury has retired and un-retired so many times, but Owen Lewis argues that this time Fury should stick with it.

Promoter Eddie Hearn is unsure that Tyson Fury will stick to the retirement announcement he posted on Monday, and believes it could merely be a ploy to up the ante for a Fury-Anthony Joshua fight.

Promoter Frank Warren has wished Tyson Fury a happy retirement, and hopes that the former world heavyweight champion stays in boxing in some capacity.

Former unified heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has announced his retirement. Fury posted a video with the announcement to his Instagram account on Monday.

As lineal and unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk was making his exit from Saturday's Ring magazine awards in London, he offered his thoughts on a potential Tyson Fury-Anthony Joshua matchup.
