Fury last year beat YouTube's biggest boxing stars in Jake Paul and KSI.

But he hasn't boxed since, having undergone hand surgery following his controversial decision win over KSI in October.

He has since hit unwanted headlines after splitting up with Molly-Mae Hague amid cheating allegations - which he publicly denied.

And his boxing career has taken a hit in the aftermath of his surgery and contentious victory over KSI.

But Misfits Boxing - co-founded by KSI and head honcho Mams Taylor - could be an unlikely route back into the ring for Fury.

Taylor told SunSport: "Door's open. I think he's 25, he definitely brings a lot of value.

"His dad is entertaining get along great with him as well. I think we're open to it. Let's see where he wants to go.

"It would potentially make sense. It's just gotta make sense on every front, you know? But always open to conversations."

Neither KSI, 31, or Fury, 25, have boxed since their pay-per-view blockbuster due to similar hand injuries.

The box office grudge match is said to have sold over 1MILLION PPVs.

But a rematch remains up in the air after Taylor was informed Fury is not yet fit to box.

He said: "The last time we all spoke, we knew that Tommy was unable to fight for a little while.

"We look forward to reconnecting and seeing what's next for him."
