Tyson Fury makes bizarre U-turn just HOURS after announcing his retirement and vows to keep fighting
Cocaine shamed boxer sent out explicit Tweet announcing his retirement from boxing but now claims he was lying
TYSON FURY has made an amazing U-turn on his decision to quit boxing just HOURS after announcing his retirement.
The drug fuelled Heavyweight Champ sent out an explicit Tweet at 12:10pm to his 480,000 followers announcing that he was hanging up his gloves.
But the 28-year-old, who tested positive for cocaine after pulling out his fight against Wladimir Klitschko, has dramatically U-turned on his decision to quit at 15:51.
He wrote: "Hahahaha u think you will get rid of the GYPSYKING that easy!!! I'm here to stay. #TheGreatest just shows u what Medea are like. Tut tut"
He then announced his intention to defend his heavyweight belts by writing: "Soon as I get better I'll be defending what's mine the heavyweight thrown."
Fury, whose record stands at 25 wins from 25 fights, may have his title belts stripped after the latest cocaine shame.
He was due to fight Klitschko on October 29 but pulled out citing 'medical reasons'.
But just days later it was revealed that Fury's urine sample had tested positive for cocaine.
Fury then laughed off the allegations by Tweeting a picture comparing himself to Tony Montana from the famous scene in Al Pacino's Scarface with the hashtag #TonyMontana.
Fury's boxing career has been marred with a string of controversial comments.
In November 2015 he caused uproar when he likened homosexuality to paedophilia.
He said in an interview: "There are only three things that need to be accomplished before the Devil comes home.
"One of them is homosexuality being legal in countries, one of them is abortion and the other is paedophilia. So who would have thought in the 50s and early 60s that those first two would be legalised.”
Fury is also known for his degrading views on women.
Speaking of Jessica Ennis-Hill he said: "She slaps up good as well. When she's got a dress on she looks quite fit."
Speaking of women in general he added: "A woman's best place is in the kitchen and on her back - that's my personal belief."
Just before making his American debut in New York, Fury was blasted for telling an interviewer that he would "hang" his own sister is she was promiscuous.
Fury had planned a rematch with Klitschko on July 9 but pulled out due to an ankle injury.
tested positive for cocaine on September 22 - a day before he pulled out of the proposed bout on the 23rd.
And finally the bout, which was scheduled once again for October 29, was cancelled for "medical reasons".
