Fury, 36, hung up his gloves for the fifth time in January in the wake of his second straight defeat to pound-for-pound king Oleksandr Usyk.
The former WBC king felt hard done by the judges and refused to fight again, although he's since called for a trilogy fight with his Ukrainian rival.
Tyson Fury's latest comeback antics is all part of a Netflix script to lead up to Anthony Joshua fight claims insider
Boxing fans, however, want to see Fury finally settle the score with long-time rival Anthony Joshua in a blockbuster Battle of Britain.
But Fury's sights are seemingly solely set on reducing the deficit in his series with Usyk, which he claims is on course to take place at Wembley on April 18.
He said: "The all-British fight with Joshua will be big.
"And if we both go to our grave - without having fought each other - it would be a travesty for British boxing.
"But I feel like, what I really want is revenge.
'But I only want to fight Oleksandr Usyk at Wembley, in front of 100,000 people, and lift all the belts. That would be my dream.
'My second dream would be that massive fight with Anthony Joshua.
'I am a prize fighter first and foremost. So, if the money is right, then we can do a deal. If the money is right, then it's a deal.'

'Woke' Netflix bosses axe iconic scene from Pride and Prejudice remake to 'avoid objectifying men'
Netflix bosses have axed an iconic moment from Pride and Prejudice in a new 'woke' move to avoid 'objectifying men'. The unforgettable scene of Mr Darcy - played by Colin Firth - emerging from a lake was all the rage in 1995. But show bosses have confirmed it will not resurface in the forthcoming version of the rom-com. According to reports, many fans will be disappointed as the famous BBC scene is said to have 'got millions of women hot under the collar'. A source told The Sun: 'It is also credited for sparking subsequent moments of male objectification on screen - likes Aidan Turner's famous topless scything scene in Poldark.' It's claimed that Netflix bosses 'don't want a repeat'. The saucy scene soon became one of the most favourite TV scenes, however it didn't actually feature in Jane Austen's original 1813 story. Arguably the most iconic wet shirt ever worn sold at auction for £25,000 - double its estimated sale price. The famous scene turned Oscar-winner Firth into a sex symbol and also rocketed the shirt's sale price 30 years later, after auctioneers estimated it would be sold for between £7,000 and £10,000. The sale contained costumes archived by Cosprop, a costume house founded by Oscar-winning designer John Bright in 1965. Oscar-winner Firth played Fitzwilliam Darcy in the 1995 BBC adaptation of Jane Austen's novel, opposite Jennifer Ehle as Elizabeth Bennet - who is surprised when she visits his estate, Pemberley, to find him wet and not properly dressed. The moment has been re-imagined in Netflix series Bridgerton, when British actor Jonathan Bailey steps out of a lake, and was also referenced in Bridget Jones's Diary, which stars Firth as another Mr Darcy, a nod to his portrayal by writer Helen Fielding. The famous 'wet shirt' was designed by renowned costume designer Dinah Collin and then made by Cosprop. Cosprop's general manager Chris Garlick said multiple versions of the shirt were made as it was worn in wet and dry scenes, and in case of re-takes. The whereabouts of three fully verified shirts are known, according to Kerry Taylor. Almost 30 years after the scene first aired, the now dry shirt was sold for a hammer price of £20,000, with the buyer's premium of £5,000 taking the overall total to £25,000, all of which will go to charity. Costumes from TV drama series including Poldark, Peaky Blinders and Downton Abbey also went under the hammer.

England fans celebrate as Lionesses thrash Wales 6-1 to Euro 2025 quarter-final
The Lionesses now face Sweden in Zurich on Thursday after blowing the Welsh away in St Gallen with a final score of 6-1 - England fans have been celebrating the win thought the night England have romped into the Euro finals after smashing through the Red Wall and slaying the Welsh dragons. The fierce Lionesses had already buried four goals before the half time whistle, but the final score sheet was a 6-1 thrashing. And as France served up a third and final thrashing against the Netherlands, Les Bleus finished top of the group with nine points. It means England finish the group stage as runners up and will face Sweden in Zurich on Thursday. Wales were met with a standing ovation following a moving rendition of their national anthem with the players seen belting it out from the pitch. Despite the result, the Welsh women will go home heroes and history makers, having been the first ever female side to represent the country at a major tournament. As they gathered in the streets of St Gallen, famed for its 9th century cathedral, Wales fans were hoping to chalk up a new tale for the history books. But the defiant Lionesses won the Battle of Britain in front of a sell-out crowd at the St Gallen arena and the English party carried on into the night. Sharon Rogalski, 73, from Peterborough told the Mirror: "I might have a gin and tonic or two! Tonight we have proven that we are just as passionate and loud as the Welsh. "They [Wales] got here and that's the main thing, we have all just been enjoying being here together. The cities here in Switzerland are lovely, everyone has been so friendly and the atmosphere has been amazing." Jeannette Bowden, 66, from Newcastle credited the win to her 'good luck charm' - a crocheted doll of Lucy Bronze. She said: "My sister in law made little Lucy for me and she's been our good luck charm. She's very sentimental to me as my sister in law isn't very well. But tonight has been amazing, it's been incredible to watch them play so far and it's just great to win another one tonight." Before the bout fans in red and white jerseys soaked up the sun side by side - with some families and couples even split by allegiance. As the clocktower bell chimed through the streets, so did the drums of the barmy army who were singing Sweet Caroline before even leaving the bars of the market square. In the stands the chants were deafening as England fans sought to drown out the cries of Red Wall who sang Yma O Hyd and Calon Lan. Jess Cully, 54, from Portsmouth said: "Wales have brought magnificent support out here. I take my hat off to their fans, but we turned out a full repertoire. Now this is when the tournament really starts for England, but I'm going to celebrate this win with my friends and have a few sherbets tonight before the next game." For couple Amber McGrath, 27, and Elin Price, 28, this Women's Euros tournament is a trip that they will never forget. Just days ago the pair got engaged in the charming Swiss village of Grindelwald. But the pair, who have been together for nine years, still insist on proudly wearing the jerseys of their home nations. Born in Gorslas, Llanelli , Elin said of the Welsh defeat: "We knew we would both be there to console each other no matter what the score was tonight. "But just playing in the Euros is such an incredible achievement for Wales. Just to be here among the atmosphere, we have put our hand up to say 'we can play and we do matter'. We are an inspiration to the next generation. The only way is up from here." Asked if she'll join the English celebrations alongside Portsmouth-born Amber, Elin said: "I'm always there for a party as long as there's a beer about. It'll be a beer of celebration for one of us and a beer of consolation for the other." Dad, Steve Harper, who was born in England but now lives in Wales had cut his Wales and England tops in half, and then sewed them together. Steve, 44, from Cardigan Bay, Wales told the Mirror: "I have English parents but we live in Wales and our daughter is Welsh so I decided to support both. I hadn't sewn anything since school but I bought a second hand machine from eBay and a couple of shirts. It only took me a few hours." Joined by his partner Kelly Wilkinson, and daughter Emily Harper, 14, both wearing Wales shirts, Steve said: "Everything about this game is historic. The atmosphere is amazing, I probably couldn't get away with wearing this at a men's tournament so it's been brilliant and everyone's had a laugh."
