Tyson Fury’s manager, Spencer Brown, has disclosed that the former two-time heavyweight champion remains retired but is grappling with feelings of ennui. The ‘Gypsy King’ surprised the boxing community earlier this year by announcing his retirement following his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in Riyadh.
In a brief video message, Fury expressed his decision to step away from boxing, stating, “Hi everybody, I’m going to make this short and sweet. I’d like to announce my retirement from boxing. It’s been a blast, I’ve loved every single minute of it. I’m going to end with this. Dick Turpin wore a mask. God bless everybody, see you on the other side. Get up!”
Despite speculation about a potential matchup with Anthony Joshua in the future, Fury has been relishing his retirement, as evidenced by his recent family trip to Disneyland Paris. Additionally, he shared a moment on Instagram where he was seen having breakfast with Sir Alex Ferguson.
While Fury continues to train regularly, his manager confirmed his contentment with retirement, even though boredom occasionally creeps in. Brown mentioned that Fury is in good spirits, maintaining his fitness regime and enjoying himself. However, discussions around a possible return to the ring have surfaced, fueled by remarks from Top Rank COO Brad Jacobs and WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman regarding potential future opportunities for Fury.
