Tyson Fury has made a surprising statement, declaring that he will not be returning to the boxing ring, despite recent plans for a comeback. The renowned boxer had previously announced his retirement in January following a defeat to Oleksandr Usyk, marking his fourth exit from the sport.
Speculation arose when Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh hinted at Fury’s return, claiming the 36-year-old would participate in Riyadh Season in 2026. Alalshikh expressed excitement, stating, “The ‘Gypsy King’ will be back!!! We have a rabbit to hunt!”
Initially, Fury hinted at a potential trilogy fight against Usyk at Wembley Stadium in 2026. However, during a recent appearance at Doncaster Racecourse, Fury dismissed the idea of a comeback when questioned about his future in boxing, citing his age and the appearance of grey in his beard as indicators that boxing is a young man’s game.
Fury was at the racecourse filming for his documentary, “At Home With The Furys,” where cameras captured his involvement in horse racing. Despite his enthusiasm, Fury’s racehorse, Big Gypsy King, struggled during the event, finishing in 11th place after failing to perform well.
Looking ahead, Fury and his manager, Spencer Brown, have delved into the National Hunt side of horse racing, investing in horses for races over jumps. Their recent acquisitions include Cossack Chach and Sea The Clouds, showing a promising venture into the world of equestrian sports.
Furthermore, Sky has announced a discounted package for its Essential TV and Sky Sports bundle ahead of the 2025/26 season, offering members savings and a plethora of live matches across various leagues, including the Premier League and EFL. Sky is set to showcase over 200 live Premier League games next season, providing an increased viewing experience for sports enthusiasts.
