But he performed a public U-turn in April as he campaigned for a trilogy fight with the two-time undisputed heavyweight king.
The Wythenshawe warrior, however, dashed the hopes of fans excited to see him fight again earlier this month by claiming he will "NEVER" set foot inside the ring again.
But he's once again left the boxing world on tenterhooks by revealing he's set to make a big announcement.

Fury, who celebrated his 37th birthday earlier this month, has arguably the biggest payday of his career awaiting him if he does decide to lace up his gloves again.
A lucrative and long-overdue battle with Brit rival Anthony Joshua is in the offing for the dad-of-seven.
But the former two-time king of the heavyweights could seemingly care little about fighting again, telling Sky Sports when asked if he'd return to the ring: "Never. Really!

Fury's latest comments on a return to the squared circle are in stark contrast to the admission he made about fighting last month.
Speaking ahead of Usyk's rematch with Daniel Dubois at Wembley, he said: "I do miss it.

‘Trust is lost': Isak accuses Newcastle of broken promises in transfer drama
Alexander Isak's standoff with Newcastle threatened to descend into outright civil war on Tuesday night as the Sweden striker accused his club of breaking promises and betraying his trust. In an incendiary Instagram message he claimed their relationship 'could not continue'. Isak has been endeavouring to force a move to Liverpool all summer but, so far, at least Newcastle have proved resistant, rejecting one £110m bid as they struggle to find replacements. The striker was due to have attended the Professional Footballers' Association's players' player of the year awards in Manchester on Tuesday having been nominated for the top prize but sent his apologies via his explosive social media post. Shortly after Liverpool's Mohamed Salah won the main award for a third time, Isak's words sent shockwaves through the corridors of power at St James' Park. 'When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can't continue,' he posted after expressing pride at being voted on to the PFA Premier League team of the 2024-25 season. Isak then thanked his teammates and 'everyone at Newcastle' for supporting him along the way before increasing the pressure on the club's Saudi Arabian owners to sanction his longed-for sale to Anfield. 'I'm not at the ceremony tonight,' he posted. 'With everything going on, it didn't feel right to be there. 'I've kept quiet for a long time while others have spoken. That silence has allowed people to push their own version of events, even though they know it doesn't reflect what was really said and agreed behind closed doors. 'The reality is that promises were made and the club has known my position for a long time. To now act as if these issues are only emerging is misleading. 'When promises are broken and trust is lost the relationship can't continue. That's where things are for me right now – and why change is in the best interests of everyone, not just myself.' Isak was understood to be furious when what he believed to be a promised pay rise was postponed last summer. At the time he had four years remaining on his £140,000-a-week contract. His camp claim that last spring he made it clear to Newcastle's manager and the club that he wanted to leave this summer but Howe and the board interpret things very differently. This summer Isak skipped the club's pre-season tour of Singapore and South Korea citing a thigh injury, undetectable on scans. He then spent a week training alone at his former club Real Sociedad, an excursion Howe only learned about through the media. More recently he has been training alone at Newcastle after other players have departed and was excluded from a club social barbecue after refusing Howe's overtures to reintegrate. Newcastle's manager has said that Isak is 'in control' of the situation. The board were preparing to fine the striker, who is understood to have rejected offers of a much-enhanced contract extension, the maximum permissible two weeks' wages after he missed last Saturday's opening game of the season, a goalless draw at Aston Villa. Newcastle have been approached for comment. Guardian
