Tyson Fury v Dillian Whyte: World champion 'not thinking about retirement'

Tyson says he is not thinking about retirement before his fight with Dillian.

At the news conference to announce the fight, he said he would retire after it.

He said on Thursday that he was not thinking about retirement.

While speaking at a news conference for his first UK fight since last year, Tyson Fury did not talk about his links to Daniel Kinahan, who has been sanctioned by the US Treasury.

The subject of Kinahan's links with boxing and his work with Tyson and Josh were the subject of an investigation by the Beeb.

On Tuesday, US officials announced sanctions against several top members of the Irish Kinahan organised crime group, saying that Daniel Kinahan is believed to run the day-to-day operations of the organisation.

Several British journalists, including one from BBC Sport, were on the call. The journalists didn't have the chance to ask the man a question.

The chief sports correspondent of the Times wrote a question in the group chat box on the internet, and that's when Fury left the call.

Riath Al-Samarrai, chief sports feature writer at the Daily Mail, said later on social media: "Moderator selected who among 96 journalists/YouTubers etc got to ask questions, of which there must have been 20. Not one mentioned Daniel Kinahan. No wonder boxing is such an absolute shambles."

Lawton replied by saying his question "was ignored", adding: "If Fury's promoters [Top Rank] think that was a smart move, they're mistaken.

Top Rank insist there was no censoring of the media on the call.

'They're going to make me the patron saint of England'

During his trilogy with the American, he retained the title he won from Deontay Wilder.

Since beating Pianeta in August of last year, Fury has had five fights in the US.

The biggest post-war boxing crowd in the UK has been attracted by the return of Tyson Fury to the UK.

The amount of support I have had in the last few years is amazing.

It was only right for me to come back home and give the British fight fans what they have been waiting for.

They are going to make me the patron saint of England, not St George, said the two-time champion.
