Tyson Fury: Will He, Won’t He
By Eddie Sanchez
Tyson Fury: “There’s no reason for me to go back in the boxing ring. I’m 37, I’ve been punched for 25 years, what do I want to go back for? You could offer me £1bn today, and it wouldn’t move the needle, because I’ve gone past that point of caring about what other people think.”
Classic Fury, who often retires just to unretire, and in between these shenanigans, he teases against his next move.
Despite that, the Gypsy King has called for a trilogy fight against Usyk and continues to be linked with a blockbuster British battle against Anthony Joshua, while promoter Frank Warren has said Fury intends to return to the sport in 2026.
“It used to be for the money, the titles, but now I’ve got more money than I can spend, I’ve got unlimited amounts of belts and titles, and does it make me any happier? No.”
“Was the chase better than the victory? Yes. The climb was better than the mountain peak, to be fair. Always the case.”
“I could go back to boxing at any given time, but I just don’t want to.”
If Joshua returns in December, as teased by Eddie Hearn, and Wilder makes a return as well, I would bet that it will be hard for Fury to stay out of boxing, with so many possibilities up for grabs. Until then, we must take his word for what it is.
