The Brit had been expected to finally agree a highly-anticipated clash with long-standing heavyweight rival Anthony Joshua.

In December, Blackstock, part of Fury's team for over a decade, said he "can't imagine" the 36-year-old ever completely leaving the sport as he backed the former heavyweight champion for a career in coaching or punditry. “I can’t imagine him ever being completely outside of boxing; it could be in so many different ways,” Blacklock told SPORTbible in December. “He’s a very intelligent guy, especially with the boxing, his knowledge is unbelievable with the boxing. “He could be anything from a commentator to a coach, he could go into management, he could do anything he wanted to really. “But he doesn’t have to [work again].
