Tyson Fury coming out of retirement, offers to fight Anthony Joshua for free

Just a couple of days after Tyson Fury insisted he will "never come back" to the boxing ring, the heavyweight champion offered up a scenario that would get him back in the ring. 

Fury took to social media this week to say he will only come out of retirement if he can fight countryman and rival Anthony Joshua — and that he will do it for free.

"I'll sign the contract today," the 33-year-old fighter said on his Instagram. "The fight's got to be for free. Free-to-air television and all tickets go for free. No money is to be made out of this British historic fight if it happens. There's the terms, I'm in the driving seat, take it or effing leave it. The ball is in your court, guys."

As ESPN reminded everyone, this is a very different stance than the one Fury took a month ago when he said the only way he would compete again was if it was for a  $500 million purse.

With how often he seems to be changing his mind, it's anyone's guess whether Fury will actually fight another day or not.

Fury is 32-0-1 lifetime with 23 KOs and last competed in April when he won with a sixth-round TKO win over Dillian Whyte.
