Tyson Fury's true feelings on retirement revealed following conversations with WBC president
Tyson Fury insists he's retired... but that doesn't mean he's at peace. The Gypsy King has kept up regular contact with WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman since hanging up his gloves for the fourth time following his second defeat by Oleksandr Usyk in December last year. And while Fury is adamant he's done with boxing, it's clear the decision in that rematch — when all three judges called the fight 116-112 to Usyk — still stings. Sulaiman told Sky Sports this week: 'I call him regularly and he said: "Oh I'm so happy, retired, I'm here with my wife." 'He didn't hint whatsoever that he was planning on coming back. 'He told me he was not happy with the decision in the second fight with Usyk. He's still very bitter about the judges' scoring and he was very upset but he was retired, that's what he said.' It's a glimpse into the mindset of a fighter who has danced with retirement almost as often as he has with his rivals in the ring. Fury may claim he is content to be out of the sport, but the frustration of that unanimous points loss is a reminder that the fire still burns. Even Sulaiman can't rule out a comeback, adding: 'Maybe like in The Godfather, the movie, maybe we'll hear him say: "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!" We don't know…' Despite Fury's insistence that he is retired, the heavyweight division continues to buzz with speculation about another comeback. In April, Fury linked back up with trainer SugarHill Steward in the gym, filming himself and teasing: 'You know what's coming.' He has also revealed he's been enjoying twice-daily training sessions and sharing his love of working out on social media. With Anthony Joshua still waiting for that long-awaited 'Battle of Britain' clash, promoter Eddie Hearn recently admitted the ball was firmly in Fury's court. 'The way that fight gets made is probably Tyson reaches out to AJ and says, "Mate, do you fancy it?" And he'll go, "100 per cent, let's f***ing do it," Hearn said.

Zara McDermott gets the family seal of approval as she cuddles up with boyfriend Louis Tomlinson's sister Lottie at Glastonbury
has seemingly been given the family seal of approval as she was snapped cuddling up to boyfriend Louis Tomlinson 's sister Lottie at Glastonbury on Saturday. The former Love Island star, 28, and the One Direction hunk, 33, have been dating since March, just months after her split from Made In Chelsea 's Sam Thompson, 32. The pair's relationship has gone from strength to strength, with the couple having been travelling the world together, holidaying in Costa Rica and Los Angeles. But now it seems that their relationship has the added strength of the blessing of his make-up artist sister Lottie, 26, whom he has a close bond with. Taking to Instagram on Saturday, Lottie shared a plethora of snaps from her time at the festival at Worthy Farm, which she enjoyed with Louis, Zara and fiancé Lewis Burton. Proving she was accepting of her brother's new romance, Lottie snuggled in close to Zara, who wrapped an arm around her waist, as they posed in the field together. Fans were quick to take to the comments to share their excitement over the seemingly newfound friend between Zara and her boyfriend's sister. They penned: 'YOU AND ZARA OMG'; 'You and Zara are my favorite duo!' 'Nice when your siblings and partners get along so well' 'Don't even care about the Louis and lottie post (I do) But ZARA AND LOTTIE I WANTED IT OMG.' Meanwhile, Lottie also shared a plethora of snaps from her time at the festival, with the mother-of-two looking loved up with partner Lewis. Her cheeky big brother even photobombed a photo of the couple as they attempted a romantic snap. Elsewhere, Louis' bizarre Glastonbury festival set-up has been revealed. The performer, who regularly attends the music event, has reportedly got himself a tent solely for booze as he camps out with his mates instead of staying in a hotel. Lottie also shared a plethora of snaps from her time at the festival, with the mother-of-two looking loved up with partner Lewis A source told The Mirror: 'Louis is determined to make it a weekend to remember and has planned everything with military like precision - including making sure enough booze is available. He has his own tent - and one just for the drinks.' Though Zara has been enjoying the festivities with him, she's been staying off site and not setting up camp with Louis. The source added: 'Everyone is saying it's a nice break for him and Zara but it's a great way also for Zara to meet his mates. It will definitely be a boozy one and not a particularly romantic one.' MailOnline have contacted representatives of Louis for comment. It comes after Zara and Louis put on a loved up display as they strolled hand-in-hand through Worthy Farm as Glastonbury Festival kicked off on Thursday. The couple cut low key figures as they were spotted soaking up the Somerset sun at the iconic music event. Louis wore a graphic football shirt which he teamed with black cargo trousers and shielded his famous features beneath shades and a baseball cap. Meanwhile Zara, who also sported sunglasses, wore an black adidas top with dark trousers and tied back her long blonde locks in a ponytail. It comes just hours after Louis was spotted smoking with friends in what was believed to be a lad's only trip and weekend of partying. The pop star later supported Zara, who he was first linked to in March, as she spoke on a panel for charity Refuge, for a talk entitled How to Create Societal Change: Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls.
