Ricky Hatton says Tyson Fury has done enough to walk away from boxing but a fight against Anthony Joshua should happen first.

British boxing legend Ricky Hatton believes he knows what it will take for Tyson Fury to leave retirement and get in the ring with Anthony Joshua. The much-anticipated British heavyweight showdown was being discussed until Fury announced his retirement from the sport in January following consecutive defeats to heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.

This contest seemed closer than ever at the very start of 2025. Both former two-time world champions Fury and Joshua had lost two back-to-back fights each with Oleksandr Usyk, who proved himself to be the greatest heavyweight on the planet with those wins.
