TYSON TAKES A 10 COUNT

TYSON FURY was ready to retire from boxing for good last year – now he wants to fight another 10 times.

Fury, 35, will attempt to become the first undisputed heavyweight world champion since Lennox Lewis when he takes on Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia on May 18.

He will then turn his attention to bitter rival Anthony Joshua after promising him a doubleheader – first in the Middle East and then at Wembley.

Fury insists he was ready to walk away from the sport until the sudden influx of Saudi oil money.

And now he wants to follow heavyweight legends George Foreman and Evander Holyfield and box into his 40s.
