Tyson Fury has not ruled out a return to the boxing ring professionally admitting that he will stated that he will fight in the ring if the right opportunity comes up. But for now, he has his eyes set on exhibition bouts and has named Hollywood actor and former professional wrestler Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson as a potential opponent.
The Gypsy King has continuously stated that he will retire after his win over Dillian Whyte he would hang up his gloves at the age of just 33. However, Fury has not yet surrendered his belts and is still officially heavyweight champion, and admitted he could return if the price is right.
But he does however, want to stay active and is looking to fight UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in a crossover bout in 2023.

And another potential opponent, could well be the highest-paid actor in Hollywood.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Fury said: "I'm going to do some exhibition fights, they're not real fights, it's for the entertainment. This is not professional boxing, this is pure entertainment, that's all it is, nothing more, nothing less.
"The difference is, the exhibition you're not there to win or lose, you're there to put on a show for the fans. You can fight old-timers, famous people, whoever you want; I'm looking to fight Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Frank Bruno, or Dwayne Johnson, The Rock.
"I told [promoter] Frank Warren to show me the money and he has to if he wants me on those shows. [£200million], that's not a bad start, that would be alright."
Speaking on Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions YouTube page, Fury did not officially come out of retirement, but did state that he would fight again if the right opportunity arose.
And speaking again this morning, he added that whilst he would not rule out a return, he expects to look towards exhibition bouts.
"There’s always going to be that clamour – even when Joshua and Usyk are finished and there’s new contenders and champions, they will always ask Tyson Fury to come back as undefeated champion and fight these people.
"But rumours are rumours. Until I say that I’m actually doing a fight, take me at my word. For now I’m done with professional boxing and I’ve moved on to other things, but you can never say never. You never know what the future holds."
