TYSON FURY promised fans a "show stopping" next fight and vented frustration at being out since his trilogy with Derek Chisora.

Fury beat Chisora in ten rounds in December but he has failed to return since.

But over the past month, the Gypsy King has taken to social media to tease imminent and massive fight news.

And in his latest post, he wrote: "The @wbcboxing Heavyweight king cant wait till my next fight.

"iv been training daily from Christmas trying to get a fight. Tried many fighters & have had no luck but that wont keep me down.

"im blessed everyday i wake up! i know God loves me! & everything will workout the way it should as it always does cant wait for you all to see what iv got coming for you guys its show stopping."

Fury, 34, has been left in the lurch after talks to unify the division with Oleksandr Usyk, 36, broke down earlier in the year.

And the WBC champion has not been able to find an opponent to return against in the meantime.

He claimed the UFC had offered him a "hybrid" fight against heavyweight champion Jon Jones, 35.

And boxing bosses in Saudi Arabia have hinted at making another offer to face Usyk, this time at the end of the year.

It comes after the Ukrainian pound-for-pound star signed with Skill Challenge Entertainment in Saudi.

And Fury said on Foxify Trade Twitter Spaces: "I would love to fight Usyk for the undisputed titles.

"But at the minute Usyk is running like a cheater, he is running so fast, he can't get away from me quick enough.

"The only reason this fight hasn't happened is Usyk wants more bags, he wants more money.

"So, I don't blame him for that because at the end of the day it's a short career and it's a business.

"So, it's not a personal thing of 'I hate Usyk' or 'oh my god Usyk didn't fight me', for whatever reasons. This is strictly business.

"Usyk is waiting for the big money, the £100million he's going to get from the Saudis for a fight in November or whenever it's going to happen.

"So, I can't hold it against him. I know he's a family man and he's got mouths to feed, so I wish him luck, it's not personal, it's a sport for one and a business for two.

"But, when we do finally meet, I'm going to annihilate him, that's a fact."
