SunSport exclusively revealed yesterday that Fury could come out of retirement, but only if the price is right.

And he told the Mirror “never say never” when quizzed about a potential unification bout against Anthony Joshua or Oleksandr Usyk.

But the Gypsy King also has his eye on SIX other opponents to take on in exhibition bouts.

Two of those are the Klitschko brothers, Wladimir and Vitali, both former heavyweight champions and currently defending Ukraine against invasion from Russia.

Elsewhere 55-year-old Mike Tyson is on his list of potential opponents after the American himself has fought in exhibition bouts since retiring.

Fury said: “I can come back whenever if I wanted to. For now, I’m happily contented, and I might do a few exhibitions, Mike Tyson or one of the Klitschkos, someone like that, the showbiz and entertainment stuff.

“It’s something people are interested these days.”

Meanwhile Fury also named WWE legend and movie star Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson as someone he’d be eager to fight for the “entertainment factor”.

And he is also targeting exhibition bouts with British heavyweight icons Lennox Lewis and Frank Bruno.

Speaking on GMB today about a potential return to the ring, Fury said: “Nothing’s happened, I’m going to do some exhibition matches, so not real fights! Purely for the entertainment factor.

“This is not professional boxing, this is pure entertainment, Hollywood style entertainment. Nothing more, nothing less.”

And he added: “I’m looking at fighting Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Frank Bruno, whoever.

“The Rock, Dwayne Johnson, that would be fantastic.

“You never know who we could be fighting on one of these shows, but that’s what I’m hoping in the upcoming future.”
