‘Maybe all of them' – Tyson Fury names three-man hit list that could tempt Gypsy King out of boxing retirement

The Sun2 days ago
TYSON FURY has named THREE huge fights that could tempt the boxing legend out of retirement - again.
'The Gypsy King' hung up his gloves once again in January after suffering back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia.

Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh recently revealed that he is currently negotiating a three-fight deal with Fury, who was undefeated before losing to Usyk.
And there were three names on the Brit's list when iFL TV asked him to list match-ups that would motivate him to box again.
Fury said: "Well, don't hold your breath, it's not going to be this year, but it might be next year.
"If I get the right offer, it might be 2026. If it turns me on, then I will come back.
"But if there is no turn on, I will stay retired. Anthony Joshua, Oleksandr Usyk, Daniel Dubois, any of them or maybe all of them."
Fury won't be able to make a comeback until next year due to his ongoing commitments to various projects with Netflix.
The two-time world heavyweight champion is currently in the middle of filming a documentary about his family life as well as the second series of At Home With The Furys.
Once that's wrapped up, Alalshikh intends to start sowing the seeds for a mouth-watering all-British showdown between Fury and Joshua.
Alalshikh recently told The Boxing Voice: "Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury next year, we are trying to do it and we are thinking about it."
Before Usyk knockout Dubois inside five rounds on Saturday, Fury appeared at a boxing event at BOXPARK where he confirmed to fans that he would indeed return.
He previously said: "I do miss it, every single day I wake up in the morning and miss it. I've been away seven months, missed it everyday. I'm open to offers at the moment."
"The takeover! I'm gonna be 37 in about three weeks so I'm going to be the oldest swinger with all these young boys coming up it's going to be difficult."
A trilogy with Usyk is Fury's priority, but it will depend on the Ukrainian's plans for the future.
The three-time undisputed king did name Fury to the crowd when listing who he should fight next, also including Derek Chisora, AJ and Joseph Parker in the line-up.
Parker, 33, has been named as the mandatory challenger for 38-year-old's Usyk's IBO world heavyweight title.

Oleksandr Usyk's next opponent lined up days after Dubois victory

Oleksandr Usyk has been officially ordered by the WBO to face Joseph Parker, his mandatory challenger, for the heavyweight title. The WBO issued a statement on Thursday, 24 July, giving both parties 30 days to negotiate an agreement before proceeding to a purse bid. Usyk regained his undisputed heavyweight status by defeating Daniel Dubois for the second time on Saturday, 19 July, at Wembley Stadium. Joseph Parker secured his WBO interim title by knocking out Martin Bakole in February, following the cancellation of his bout with Dubois. Usyk has the option to relinquish the WBO title to avoid the fight, a strategy he previously employed by giving up the IBF title to facilitate his rematch with Tyson Fury.

FA issue England manager warning ahead of Euros final

The Football Association (FA) is determined to retain Sarina Wiegman as England manager, with chief executive Mark Bullingham stating she is "not for sale" at any price. Wiegman has reached five consecutive major tournament finals, including the last three with the Lionesses, and will lead them in the Euro 2025 final against world champions Spain. Her current contract with the FA extends until the end of the 2027 Women's World Cup, and Bullingham expressed confidence in keeping her in charge. Bullingham praised Wiegman as a "special coach" for her exceptional tournament record, work with players, and ability to maintain a cool head in critical moments. He dismissed suggestions that Wiegman should be considered for the England men's job, asserting it is disrespectful to view the men's role as more senior.

Lewis Hamilton's frank response to Christian Horner's departure

Lewis Hamilton has paid tribute to Christian Horner following his departure as Red Bull team principal a fortnight ago. Horner, 51, was in charge of Red Bull for 20 years, during which the team secured 14 world championships. Hamilton, now at Ferrari, described Horner's work at Red Bull as 'remarkable' and acknowledged his skill in running such a large organisation. He recalled an initial meeting with Horner in 2005 when Hamilton was looking to enter GP2, noting they didn't 'hit it off from the get-go'. Hamilton wished Horner all the best, despite their long-standing rivalry on the Formula 1 circuit.
