Last month, Fury - who previously returned just six months after 'retiring' in April 2022 following his win over Dillian Whyte - said he was hanging up his gloves following his loss to Oleksandr Usyk.

Addressing AJ's future, Matchroom CEO Eddie Hearn told Sky Sports: "I think the right thing to do would be to rematch Daniel Dubois, I think that's what he would like to do, to have another shot at the world heavyweight championship.

"We want to fight Tyson Fury but know he's retired at the moment."

Hearn added that they hope the Gypsy King was inspired by the weekend's Saudi Arabia event which saw Agit Kabayel beat Zhilei Zhang, and Joseph Parker defeating Martin Bakole.

The promoter added: "I hope he (Fury) watched tonight and the hairs on his arms stood up a little bit.

"We could do something really special. Respect to him, if he doesn't come back then good luck but if he could, there would be a lot of happy people."

Last week, Top Rank COO Brad Jacobs discussed the possibility, and admitted he thinks a Joshua match could tempt Fury.

He told Sky Sports: "Nobody is in Tyson's head, only himself, of course. I think an Anthony Joshua fight gets him out of retirement, if it's the right situation and he feels right about it.

"I believe there is the potential for it. What happens nobody knows. Tyson has done shocking things before, and it wouldn't surprise me if he did it again."
