Tyson Fury, the heavyweight boxing champion, announced his retirement from the sport last month for the fifth time. This decision came after Fury suffered a second consecutive defeat against Oleksandr Usyk in December. The fight was close, with the judges awarding the bout to Usyk, prompting Fury to call time on his career.
However, recent talks with promoter Frank Warren have sparked speculation about a potential return for Fury. A mega bout against Anthony Joshua, which would earn both former world champions significant money, has been a long-awaited event for UK fans. Warren has confirmed that he has spoken with Fury, who is currently enjoying life beyond boxing, and has not ruled out a return to the ring.
Fury's retirement announcement came just a few months after he claimed he would fight until he was 50. He has seven children with his wife Paris and has spoken about the need to keep boxing for his mental health. Despite his wealth, estimated at over £40 million, Warren believes that Fury's 'fighting heart' could ultimately be the deciding factor in his return to the ring.
