'GLINT IN HIS EYE'
Paris Fury DOUBTS Tyson will quit the ring and tells Piers Morgan on TalkTV: ‘He’s still itching for certain fights’
PARIS Fury doubts her heavyweight champ hubby Tyson will quit the ring, saying “he’s still itching for certain fights”.
Fury had pledged to retire in April after his KO of Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium left him undefeated and with £150million in the bank.

Recent reports suggested that he could face the winner out of Anthony Joshua's rematch against Oleksandr Usyk in an undisputed match-up.
But the unbeaten Mancunian quickly shut down those rumours as he denied he is in talks about a return to the ring.
However, now his wife says there’s “still a glint in his eye” and reckons he hasn’t hung up his gloves for good.
Speaking to Piers Morgan on TalkTV tonight she said: “I'd like him to retire but there's something in the back of my mind saying he's itching for another fight.

“It's there - Woman's instinct. There's something still calling him out there.
“As the wife, I just look and wonder ‘are you done?’.
“I hope he is. I hope he chooses another path but honestly, I think there is a question mark there.”
Paris also revealed she has made a bet with Tyson’s lawyer that he will get back into the ring.
She added: “After the first fight with Deontay Wilder I begged him not to fight again and then he fought again and now he's saying he’s quit again.
“I just don’t think it's the end. I just wonder. You never know, we’ll wait and see.”
Paris, after months of speculation, also denied that she's pregnant.
Fury, 33, currently has six children - the youngest, Athena, was born last August just before his latest fight, the trilogy bout with Deontay Wilder.
The others are Venezuela, 12, Prince John James, nine, Prince Tyson II, five, Valencia, four, and Princes Adonis Amaziah, two.
And during the interview, Fury backed former champion boxer Julius Francis after he knocked out an aggressive reveller in Wembley, West London.
The world champion fighter said: “I saw the video, great right hand by the way.
“This is what happens when you’re cheeky, rude, getting in people’s faces. What do you expect?
“If you keep kicking a dog, it’s going to bit you isn’t it. These guys are there doing a job, they weren’t on the lash together.
“This guy is p****d up of whatever and had a few drinks, getting cheeky. These guys are doing their job and he’s attacking them... so he’s been chinned.
“And it’s a life lesson isn’t it – never go out and be cheeky to big men. Because you’re probably going to get chinned sooner or later.”
It comes after The Sun revealed that Tyson will fight - but it has to be for the right money.
The self proclaimed Gypsy King has said he will be back swinging punches if he is offered half a billion pounds.
Tonight on Talk TV he said: “I’ve no interested in fighting anymore. Enough is enough but I’ve said I'll come back for half a billy.
“If that's not ridiculous enough to believe I don't know what is. When that numbers are on the table I’ll look at it. Half a billy is half a billy.”
