I don't think so. He thought about turning pro, but then went back on it:
TYSON Fury has ditched his plans to go professional and aims to go all out for gold in London 2012.
The 19-year-old Wythenshawe boxer announced he was quitting the amateur ranks out of sheer disappointment at not being given a chance of a place in the Great Britain boxing team for Beijing.
He was even pencilled in to make his pro debut on next month's Manchester Evening News Arena show featuring Amir Khan.
But Fury avidly watched the avalanche of British successes in China, including his super-heavyweight rival David Price's progression to a bronze medal.
And with the GB team preparing to reinstate his elite funding - he is seen as a major medal prospect for the Games in four years' time - Fury has decided to stick with the vest and headguard.
