Tyson Fury has seemingly made another U-turn on his retirement plans. The former heavyweight champion called a day on his career back in December after his second consecutive defeat to Oleksandr Usyk. Many expected Fury to return, as he so often does after announcing his retirement. Earlier this month he announced his desire to do just that.

In typical Tyson Fury fashion he told BoxingScene and other reporters in Istanbul, Turkey, that he would only return for a third crack at Usyk, believing he had been robbed of the decision in both of their previous contests. Then, just two hours later, Fury changed his mind and announced he had had multiple lucrative offers and was considering dusting off the gloves for a showdown with his domestic rival Anthony Joshua. It seemed only a matter of time before we saw an official announcement for a return with Turki Alalshikh. Stating he wanted both Fury and Joshua to have interim fights before facing each other next year. Fury too recently announced that a comeback was on ice until 2026, but, again, it now seems as though he has changed his mind.

Fury was appearing at Doncaster Racecourse to watch one of his race horses named Big Gypsy King in action and was asked by Sky Sports when we would likely see him back in the ring.

“Never,” he replied. “Too old, look at my beard, all grey. Boxing is a young man’s game.”

Tyson Fury is a confused drama queen

Tyson Fury is confused. He doesn’t know what he wants to do. One moment he’s retired, the next moment he’s coming back to get his revenge. This is just what Tyson Fury does. So no one believes anything he says. When he says he’s done, he comes back. Let’s see how long he has with this stance because last time we checked, he was in negotiations to have his trilogy with Oleksandr Usyk. Stay tuned for the latest drama from Tyson Fury.
