Instead, the Wythenshawe-native posted a photo of himself on Instagram lip-syncing songs. 

Fury had previously told of his confidence that a return to Boxing would be possible, having teased comeback bouts against Anthony Joshua and Tony Bellew in recent weeks.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Fury said: "Yes, hopefully they will do the right thing. I want to get back out there. I know what the outcome should be.

"End of April, early May. I will be ready by that time, fit and strong. The training plan is set up, so I will be ready by then.

"There is a lot of politics involved in boxing, It is not just two fighters getting in the ring and fighting. There is so much to do. One day we would probably both like to get this fight sorted.

"That is all very unimportant to me. Where it is, who it is, what date it is. As long as I get back out there in 2018, I will be happy.

"I am itching to get back in there, and we are well in the planning stages. It is all starting to come together. I want to get four or five fights in next year. I am ready for that amount."

It remains to be seen what will happen now. for Fury and his career
