But John dismissed such claims, suggesting his son is just on the wind-up and would not know what to do without boxing.

Responding to the retirement talk, Fury Snr said: “Bulls***. Tyson is as mad as a box of frogs, where’s he gonna go without boxing?

“Boxing’s his life… Tyson’s the biggest wind-up merchant in the world, people should know him by now.”

Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte: Date, venue and TV info as fight confirmed

He has called for the former heavyweight world champion not to be selected as a pundit – warning promoter Frank Warren to ban Haye.

John said: “David Haye is not allowed to comment on that show.

“David Haye needs to take a back seat in the stands where nobody can see him.

“I’ve already made it quite clear to Frank Warren – he is not allowed to be commentating on my son’s fight, otherwise there will be a problem.

“That’s black and white, the nation can hear me. He’s a hater, I don’t want him near my family, that’s the bottom line.

“They know me, BT, and I will not be silent if he’s there.”
