Tyson Fury risks becoming “the boy that cried wolf” if he backs out of a proposed fight against Anthony Joshua, according to former world cruiserweight champion Johnny Nelson.

Fury has announced his retirement from boxing on multiple occasions since defeating Dillian Whyte in April and claimed he would only perform a U-turn if he was offered £500million to fight Oleksandr Usyk.
