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.
He said on his Instagram story on Monday: "I've got the biggest announcement of the year incoming. Stay tuned."

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!
"[I'm] too old, look at my beard, all grey. Boxing's a young man's game."

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.
Tyson Fury, 36, claims he will 'NEVER' return to boxing just weeks after announcing comeback and hints at new career
"Every single day I wake up in the morning and miss it.
"I've been away seven months, missed it every day. I'm open to offers at the moment.
"I'm not going to be doing any comebacks this year, that's for sure.
"I'm busy, as you can see, I've got Netflix here.
"I'm filming At Home With The Furys season two. Come on!
I've got the biggest announcement of the year incoming. Stay tuned!"

"And then next year, the big GK is going to make a f***ing comeback.
"The takeover! I'm gonna be 37 in about three weeks.
"I'm going to be the oldest swinger with all these young boys coming up.
"It's going to be difficult, but I believe I can put on some very good nights still."

Alexander Isak saga: Newcastle respond to wantaway striker's social media post
Newcastle have insisted Alexander Isak was never told he could leave this summer in response to the wantaway striker's social media post. Isak broke his silence amid his attempts to force a move out of Newcastle by accusing the club of breaking promises in a lengthy statement on Instagram. But the club responded late on Tuesday night to say they were disappointed at the Sweden international's message, while leaving the door open for the 25-year-old to return to the fold. Newcastle United statement: Alexander Isak — Newcastle United (@NUFC) August 19, 2025 A club statement read: 'We are disappointed to have been alerted to a social media post by Alexander Isak this evening. We are clear in response that Alex remains under contract and that no commitment has ever been made by a club official that Alex can leave Newcastle United this summer. 'We want to keep our best players, but we also understand players have their own wishes and we listen to their views. 'As explained to Alex and his representatives, we must always take into consideration the best interests of Newcastle United, the team and our supporters in all decisions and we have been clear that the conditions of a sale this summer have not transpired. We do not foresee those conditions being met. 'This is a proud football club with proud traditions and we strive to retain our family feel. Alex remains part of our family and will be welcomed back when he is ready to rejoin his teammates.' Isak, who has been the subject of a rejected bid from Liverpool, was not involved in Newcastle's Premier League opener on Saturday as they failed to score in a goalless draw at Aston Villa, having been training alone after refusing to play in some pre-season matches. On Tuesday he was named in the PFA Premier League team of the season and used a post on Instagram expressing his gratitude to address his situation. 'I've kept quiet for a long time while others have spoken,' Isak wrote. '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 act now 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.' Liverpool had a bid reportedly worth £110million plus add-ons rejected by Newcastle at the start of August but have retained an interest in the player despite signing Hugo Ekitike – a forward who was also targeted by Newcastle. Newcastle are said to value Isak at £150million, and would only consider a sale if they have signed a replacement. Isak, who returned to training at Newcastle on August 4, has three years remaining on his contract at St James' Park, and it was understood he would be fined if he missed competitive matches as a result of his desire to leave. After Saturday's match at Villa, Newcastle boss Eddie Howe said 'other people are dealing with that issue'. Howe has continued to express his hope that Isak stays at the club.

Legends Tour at Trump: The best images from the celebrity pro-am as Andriy Shevchenko, Judy Murray and Brian McFadden hit the links
From footballing royalty to Olympians and reality TV stars, the celebrities were out in force at Trump International Links. A day after US President Donald Trump had opened the new course at the Aberdeenshire venue, it was the turn of some more familiar faces to tee it up at the Cardhu Celebrity Pro-Am. The pro-am is the appetiser before the Legends Tour's flagship tournament – the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship gets under way on Thursday morning – but has become a popular event in its own right among golf fans in the north-east. Irish pop singer Brian McFadden, who rose to fame with Westlife, described the Trump International Links course as 'a real jewel'. He said: 'This is my third or fourth time here. I have great memories as I won here three years ago to qualify for the Legends Tour's grand final in Mauritius. 'In my opinion, this is one of the best golf courses in the world. 'For a links golf course to have that kind of condition on the greens and the fairways is just phenomenal. 'The Scottish people always make us feel so welcome and spoil us rotten. 'It is a really tough field as a lot of the celebrities are very good. 'Robbie Fowler is the most consistent. You never see him far from the top of the leaderboard. 'Keith Duffy is always up there, Teddy Sheringham is a very good golfer and Andriy Shevchenko is incredible. 'It is a tough field – I know when I tee off I won't be winning.' Legendary British athlete Kriss Akabusi was also loving being back in Aberdeenshire for the Legends Tour event. The celebrities were all playing for a nominated charity, with £10,000 going to the winner, £7,500 for second place and £2,500 for third. Akabusi said: 'I always love coming here. It's not the easiest course to play but it is always beautiful. 'I really like the layout of the 12th hole, it's definitely one of my favourites on the course. 'It's important to enjoy yourself and not try to be something that you're not. 'It's great to play the course alongside someone like my playing partner Rich Beem (winner of the 2002 US PGA Championship who now works as an analyst for Sky Sports). 'I told him I had listened to him talk about golf so many times on the TV so it's great to say I have now played a round alongside him.' Former Liverpool and Republic of Ireland defender Jason McAteer says playing golf has helped him adjust to life after football. McAteer, who plays off a very impressive handicap of 1.5, said: 'I came up on Monday with Robbie Fowler and we played Murcar on Tuesday, which was a stunning place. 'I really enjoy my golf. 'When you finish playing football there is a massive void in your life. 'You still have that competitive edge. You want to get better at something and have that discipline. 'Golf is perfect for that. I live on a golf course in Cheshire. That was the compromise with my missus when we moved house. 'I get to go out and play golf most evenings. I like the social side of it. It keeps my mind right.' Teddy Sheringham, a Champions League winner with Manchester United, has also turned to golf and plays off four. He said: 'This is my second time here and I absolutely love it. 'It is stunning and great to play with players such as my pro-am partner Paul McGinley. 'I played Royal Aberdeen a couple of years ago. You have a great word for the fog up here – the haar – and unfortunately that came in and we only got to play about 12 holes but I really liked that course. 'My own golf is up and down but I'm playing a lot. I just spent a couple of days at Loch Lomond, which was stunning. 'It doesn't get much better than playing golf on courses like this.' Former Hibernian manager Alan Stubbs pipped Ukraine legend Andriy Shevchenko to victory in the celebrity pro-am on countback with a winning score of 38 stableford points. The first round of the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship starts at 7.30am with Englishman David Salisbury getting play under way. Host Colin Montgomerie and his playing partner and fellow European Ryder Cup legend Paul McGinley tee off at 8.25am. Aberdeen's Paul Lawrie, the 1999 Open champion, tees off at 1.36pm alongside Englishman Anthony Wall.

World Cup final tipped to smash attendance record for women's rugby match
Tickets for the match on Saturday, September 27 have sold out, with approximately 82,000 supporters set to be at Allianz Stadium in south-west London. The existing record for a women's 15s fixture is 58,498, set as England clinched the 2023 Six Nations Grand Slam by beating France 38-33 at Twickenham. At the Paris 2024 Olympics, a crowd of 66,000 watched the opening day of the women's rugby sevens programme at Stade de France. The PA news agency understands governing body World Rugby believes it could have sold out the World Cup final, which will be immediately preceded by the bronze medal match, two or three times over. More than 375,000 of the 470,000 tickets available for the 32 World Cup games have been snapped up ahead of Friday's opener between England and the United States at Sunderland's Stadium of Light. Rugby World Cup 2025 chair Gill Whitehead said: 'The final, we are very confident will be the most attended women's rugby match in history, easily surpassing the 66,000 crowd that we saw in Paris 2024. 'I started playing women's rugby 30 years ago and the prospect of girls running out of the tunnel, playing to the three tiers of Allianz packed to the rafters is something perhaps I never hoped or thought I would see. It's certainly what girls' dreams are made of.' England last staged the competition in 2010 when a crowd of just over 13,000 watched the hosts beat current reigning champions New Zealand 13-10 in the final at Twickenham Stoop. Rugby World Cup 2025 managing director Sarah Massey said total ticket sales have already surpassed initial targets and are three times the number bought at the 2021 tournament in New Zealand, which took place a year later than planned due to the coronavirus pandemic. A crowd of 42,579 watched the Black Ferns claim the trophy in 2022 by defeating the Reds Roses 34-31 at Eden Park in Auckland. 'We're ready to break records in attendances, viewership and engagement,' Massey said. 'This is going to be the biggest global celebration of women's rugby that we have ever seen. 'Our message to fans is, don't miss out. This is going to be unmissable. You're going to see thrilling action, electric atmospheres, and those remaining tickets are really selling fast.'
