Boxing fans and pundits alike aren't buying what the Wythenshawe warrior is selling and reckon he's hung up his gloves again to bump up his payday for the AJ fight.
But helium precocious told promoter Frank Warren that he's "happy" with his existent beingness aft boxing.
The Queensberry Promotions main revealed connected The Ariel & Ade Show: "Can helium locomotion distant from the sport? He says helium has.
"And astatine this infinitesimal successful time, helium said to me, he's truly successful a bully spot and that he's precise happy.
"And that, for me, is important that helium is blessed and that he's successful a bully place.
"He's been 1 of the champion 2 heavyweights of the 21st century.
"And I conscionable privation him present to bask his household and his life. He had a hard twelvemonth past year.
"Three grooming camps 1 aft another, 1 combat got cancelled due to the fact that helium got the chopped eye.
View of The Sun's boxing expert: 'I deliberation it's a ploy'
CALL ME a miserable abdominous small boxing cynic, but Tyson Fury's latest status conscionable doesn't lavation with me.
It wasn't excessively agelong agone we were proceeding helium had a ten-fight woody with Saudi Arabia, that helium was gonna combat Anthony Joshua twice, past helium was going to look Joseph Parker twice.
He was readying connected doing each combat successful the satellite - determination was adjacent speech he'd rematch Francis Ngannou and bash a amended job.
IF helium has retired, past helium goes retired with an unthinkable vocation having made implicit £300million successful boxing events alone, fto unsocial each the other stuff.
He does truthful having sacrificed bundles of his ain beingness for specified success.
We cognize his woman Paris suffered a miscarriage going into the archetypal Olesandr Usyk fight.
We cognize for Deontay Wilder III, his small miss was enactment successful intensive care, helium hardly adjacent trained for that fight, helium was sleeping connected the infirmary floor.
IF helium has retired, IF it is genuine, past it's been an unthinkable career.
And for the large showman, it's astir apt a bully small abbreviated crisp mode to spell retired by conscionable posting a video portion sat wrong his car.
But I can't assistance but deliberation that it's a spot of a ploy to thrust AJ a small spot crazy.
AJ was astatine the Ring Awards the different time and enactment retired a societal media station saying "Fury, wherever are you? I'm looking for you."
It's the lone combat that AJ wants, and Fury being omniscient and looking astatine the Floyd Mayweather playbook, knows that erstwhile you retire, you person to beryllium coaxed retired of retirement.
And however bash you coax idiosyncratic retired of retirement? Loads much readies.
The information of the substance is, Fury has ever told us: I'm a prize fighter, I bash it for money, I'm gonna bash it for arsenic agelong arsenic I tin and marque arsenic overmuch wealth arsenic I can.
So the thought that helium abruptly ducks retired present doesn't look to ringing rather true.
As Fury made the announcement, I was with Frank Warren and helium said hadn't spoken to Tyson astir it today, but that helium hopes that it's true, that Fury's done capable and made capable money.
IF it's true, past what an unthinkable career.
Fury and AJ person enactment British boxing connected the representation wherever it's not been for decades, not since Lennox Lewis 25 years ago.
So convey you, but alternatively than being astatine his leaving party, which I'm definite The Sun would beryllium invited to, I fishy we'll spot him boxing AJ successful Riyadh successful a fewer months.
"He needs present to spell bask his beingness and bask being with his family, which is what he's doing."
As overmuch arsenic helium wants Fury to bask the fruits of his brutal labour, Warren wouldn't beryllium amazed if the erstwhile heavyweight king's competitory tone gets the amended of him.
Amir Khan echos the federation successful plead to Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua... and helium speaks from experience
He said: "I've not bothered him and I've surely not spoken to him astir warring again.
"And if helium does, that's got to beryllium his choice. He's a very, precise affluent guy, he's made a superior magnitude of money.
"He doesn't need, financially, to fight. If helium does fight, it's due to the fact that he's got a warring heart.
"Obviously he'll get good paid if helium does fight. But he's got a warring heart."
Fury's status came connected the backmost of consecutive losses to erstwhile undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.

In a video connected his societal media pages, helium said: "Hey everybody, I americium going to marque it abbreviated and sweet.
"I would similar to denote my status from boxing.
"It has been a blast and I person loved each azygous infinitesimal of it.
"I'm going to extremity with this - Dick Turpin wore a mask.
"God bless everybody and spot you connected the different side."
