Tyson Fury has declared that he will not step into the boxing ring again, contradicting earlier plans for a comeback. The announcement comes shortly after his decision to retire in January following a defeat to Oleksandr Usyk. This marks Fury’s fourth retirement from the sport, with speculation arising after Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh hinted at his return last month.
Alalshikh expressed excitement about Fury’s potential return, confirming his participation in Riyadh Season in 2026. Fury hinted at a trilogy fight against Usyk at Wembley Stadium in April 2026, but during a recent appearance at Doncaster Racecourse, he dismissed any notion of a comeback.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Fury emphasized that he has no intention of fighting again, citing his age and the physical toll on his body. The boxer was at the racecourse to film a segment for his documentary, where his racehorse, Big Gypsy King, had a disappointing performance, finishing in 11th place.
Despite the setback, Fury and his manager, Spencer Brown, are exploring new ventures in horse racing, particularly in the National Hunt discipline. Notable acquisitions include Cossack Chach and Sea The Clouds, reflecting their growing interest in this side of the sport.
In other news, Sky has reduced the price of its Essential TV and Sky Sports bundle for the upcoming 2025/26 season, offering significant savings and a wide range of live matches across various leagues. Sky is set to broadcast over 215 live Premier League games next season, a substantial increase from previous broadcasts.
