But the Gypsy King - perhaps unsurprisingly - has now opened the door to yet another return to the ring.
Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh even teased a trilogy bout with Usyk online after holding talks with Fury.

"And then, in my opinion, Turki's going to move straight forward and make AJ-Fury.'
Joshua, 35, is yet to return since being knocked out by Daniel Dubois, 27, in September having undergone elbow surgery in May.
Hearn told SunSport he expects AJ to return in either November or December.
Usyk, 38, meanwhile rematches Dubois on July 19 at Wembley for the undisputed titles following his stoppage victory in 2023.

Fury wants a trilogy bout in London with Usyk - feeling he was robbed in both previous fights - but will also settle for a grudge match against AJ.
He said: "Who would I rather fight right now? Usyk. I want my revenge in England, that's all I want.

"I want my fair shout, and I don't believe I've got a fair shout the last two times.
"I don't know what I'm going to have to do, because I can't let it go to a decision.
"That's the one I want, but if I don't get that then it will be Joshua, the biggest British boxing fight that will ever happen.
"It would break all records and it would sell out 100,000 at Wembley in an hour and it's a fight I think can happen, if I did decide to come back and the deal was right."
