Tyson Fury says he will retire after Dillian Whyte fight in April

The unbeaten 33-year-old is a two-time world champion, winning 31 of 32 professional fights.

He drew with American Deontay Wilder in the first of their three fights, before winning the second and third bouts.

Asked whether he would call time on his career after fighting Whyte at Wembley Stadium on 23 April, Fury said: "100%."

Speaking after his news conference to promote his upcoming bout, Fury said: "I'm a two-time undisputed world champion.

"[I have] £150m in the bank and nothing to prove to anybody."

TC Harold worsened Tonga’s domestic performance

According to the National Reserve Bank of Tonga, proceeds for marine exports also declined by $0.5 million over the month whilst proceeds for agricultural exports rose by $0.1 million.

Over the year to April, the volume of agricultural exports surpassed the volume of the previous year by 3902.6 tonnes reflecting a much better harvesting season.

The central bank said damages from TC Harold may cause further delays to construction projects, while lending continues to decline.

The utility sector also faced some disruptions in distribution from the cyclone.

Arkansas can't find enough volunteers to witness back-to-back executions

The state code requires that no fewer than six "respectable citizens" be present at each execution.

There's one problem: It's having a hard time finding enough volunteers to witness them.

The volunteer pool is apparently thin enough that state Department of Corrections Director Wendy Kelley invited members of a local Rotary Club to volunteer.

Record British crowd set for heavyweight fight

Crowds are usually capped at 80,000 for transport network capacity reasons but an attendance of 90,000 is expected for the contest in which Joshua's IBF title and the vacant WBA Super and IBO heavyweight belts are up for grabs.

It would match the record 90,000 attendance for the Len Harvey versus Jock McAvoy bout at London's White City in 1939.

"(London Mayor) Sadiq (Khan) urged me to bring the biggest fights to the city and I'm delighted to have the biggest fight in British boxing history at Wembley," Eddie Hearn told the BBC.
