Tyson Fury’s manager drops bombshell hint over retirement U-turn for ‘Gypsy King’
Tyson Fury’s manager, Spencer Brown, has dropped the biggest hint yet that his client will reverse his retirement. ‘The Gypsy King’ hung up his gloves for a fourth time in January after suffering a second consecutive defeat to Oleksandr Usyk. Fury’s manager, Brown (left), says his client has bought new boxing boots and shorts However, the Brit sent the boxing world into a frenzy last month when he uploaded a video of himself and long-time trainer SugarHill Steward in the gym together. “Just in the gym. I just bumped into somebody you might know,” he said before turning the camera to Steward. “You know what is coming.” Brown has now followed up Fury’s video by dropping another bombshell during an interview with iFL TV. “Well, he has bought a new pair of boxing boots, so what does that tell you?” he said. “I was with him the other day up in Scotland, we had a great time, he was happy, he had a couple of Guinnesses, and he does look in good nick. “But he has bought himself a new pair of boxing boots and some new boxing shorts. “You will know soon enough, won’t you? He gave you a little bit of an appetiser. “We will see [whether he returns], but all good things come when they are ready.” Boxing fans will be hoping Fury can go straight into the long-awaited all-British showdown with Anthony Joshua. Fury retired after losing to Usyk in back-to-back boutsGetty Both men have been locked into negotiations on multiple occasions to no avail. The closest they came to fighting was in 2020 when the heavyweight titans held all four major sanctioning body belts between them. However, a judge in a US court ruled that Deontay Wilder was owed a third fight with Fury, leading to the bout with AJ falling through days after it had been finalised. Since then, they have failed in preliminary talks a couple of times, yet Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, remains resolute that the fight can be made. “This is the kind of fight that probably gets made over a DM between the two or a text or a call,” Hearn told BBC Sport. “It’s like ‘look, do you fancy it?’ That’s it. And then, bang, it’s done.”
