But that isn't stopping the former two-time heavyweight champion from preparing for his ring return, which he paved the way for in April.
Fury does, however, have a separate documentary in the pipeline with the streaming giants has put the brakes on a 2025 comeback for the Wythenshawe warrior.
Queensberry Promotion's chief Warren told The Ring Magazine earlier this week: 'I spoke to him over the weekend very briefly

"And he's doing what he's always doing, which is in the gym training.'
If Tyson's at the gym, how and why is Netflix stopping him from returning to boxing?
'He's not coming back this year because he has commitments on Netflix with the 'At Home With The Furys 2' and he's doing a documentary also for Netflix.
"Then, after that, he will come back and we'll discuss who he's going to fight and so forth."

Fury, 36, hung up his gloves for the fifth time in January in the wake of his second straight defeat to pound-for-pound king Oleksandr Usyk.
The former WBC king felt hard done by the judges and refused to fight again, although he's since called for a trilogy fight with his Ukrainian rival.
Tyson Fury's latest comeback antics is all part of a Netflix script to lead up to Anthony Joshua fight claims insider
Boxing fans, however, want to see Fury finally settle the score with long-time rival Anthony Joshua in a blockbuster Battle of Britain.
But Fury's sights are seemingly solely set on reducing the deficit in his series with Usyk, which he claims is on course to take place at Wembley on April 18.
He said: "The all-British fight with Joshua will be big.
"And if we both go to our grave - without having fought each other - it would be a travesty for British boxing.
"But I feel like, what I really want is revenge.
'But I only want to fight Oleksandr Usyk at Wembley, in front of 100,000 people, and lift all the belts. That would be my dream.
'My second dream would be that massive fight with Anthony Joshua.
'I am a prize fighter first and foremost. So, if the money is right, then we can do a deal. If the money is right, then it's a deal.'

Netflix movie hits 164 million views as top films of 2025 so far are revealed
Chloe Johnson Published July 18, 2025 3:51pm Link is copied Comments It isn't just the weather that's heating up - Netflix has released its report on what exactly we've loved in 2025 so far. Yep, it has actually been half of the year already. It turns out we're no longer seeking comfort in our film habits. While there are a few happy watches, genres like horror, thriller and action are proving hugely popular. If you're looking for a film to switch on, read on to find out which 10 films you should be giving a whirl this weekend… (Picture:) Is Despicable Me 4 a horror? Some parents might say yes. At number 10 on our list with just under 70 million views is the fourth film in the iconic, minion-mania-inspiring franchise. If you haven't kept up: Gru now has a new baby (Gru Jnr.) who is intent on tormenting him, while a criminal mastermind intent on revenge is released from prison. There are, of course, plenty of yellow creatures - don't say we didn't warn you (Picture: Illumination Universal Pictures/REX/Shutterstock) For those that want something a bit grittier to sink your teeth into, Ad Vitam - Latin meaning: 'for life' - might be the one to watch this weekend. This film is a French thriller following Franck Lazareff who, after escaping a murder attempt, must find his wife Leo, who has been kidnapped by a mysterious group of armed men (Picture: Christophe Brachet/Netflix) This Mexican action film with over 71 million views follows a team of officers battling a dangerous cartel. Bonus: it has a short run-time at only 85 minutes, so if you're always the one falling asleep at long, meandering movies, this might be for you (Picture: Counterattack - Netflix) If you absolutely can't wait to see our favourite Eggo-loving Eleven in Stranger Things 5 out in November, look no further. Millie Bobby Brown teams up with Chris Pratt in this dystopian action film to star as Michelle, who is embarking on a perilous adventure navigating a crumbling society in search of her missing brother. There's also robots (Picture: Paul Abell/Netflix) Take a breather from the thrillers and action with the sixth film on our list, coming in with a whopping 74 million views. Who doesn't love our favourite fluffy best friends? In this sequel, Max meets a sheepdog named Rooster on a farm and tries to help him overcome his fears. Cute! (Picture: Universal Studios) Tom Hardy, Jessie Mei Li, Justin Cornwell and Quelin Sepulveda are just a few of the stars we see in Havoc, a film about a drug deal gone wrong and a bruised detective who must uncover corruption and fight his way through the criminal underworld to rescue a politician's estranged son. Sound enticing? 87 million people thought so (Picture: Netflix) Netflix's new bilingual action thriller follows a former special forces soldier who has PTSD and is trying to find her missing son, with conspiracies unravelling underfoot. However, despite almost 88 million views, on Rotten Tomatoes it has a 49% rating - so maybe the charm is in its hit or miss quality (Picture: Sasha Ostrov) Would you rather watch a rom-com? Sofia Carson stars in The Life List as a young woman tasked by her mother to complete her teenage bucket list who finds herself (and love) in the process. This film, with just shy of 100 million views, is about grief, love and heartbreak - so prepare the tissues... (Picture: Nicole Rivelli/Netflix ©2025) Have you ever had a really, really bad day? Well, maybe this film will make it feel a little less awful. Janiyah Wiltkinson (Taraji P. Henson) is a single mother who has a truly dreadful day as she ends up embroiled in a shocking turn of events. We can't spoil it - but there's a reason this film is classified as a psychological crime drama, and why it has 103 million views... (Picture: Chip Bergmann/Perry Well Films 2) Told you action movies are hot right now. Finally, we have Back in Action, with a star studded cast; think Jamie Foxx, Cameron Diaz, Glenn Close, Andrew Scott… can you see why it's been viewed 165 million times since its release in mid January? This film follows elite spies Matt (Jamie Foxx) and Emily (Cameron Diaz) fifteen years after they vanished from the CIA to start a family. The pair are forced to jump back into the world of espionage when their cover is blown (Picture: AP)

Adam Sandler on red carpet after he was forced to make sad change to Happy Gilmore 2 after costar's death
Adam Sandler kept it casual, as usual, on Monday. The 58-year-old actor donned a comfortable summer ensemble as he walked the red carpet in New York City for the premiere of his new Netflix film, Happy Gilmore 2. The comedy staple was clad in a yellow Hawaiian shirt with purple blue and green highlights, peach shorts and blue-gray sneakers with white crew socks. The Brooklyn, New York native reprises the titular role for the sequel, which comes nearly three decades after the original film arrived in theaters in February of 1996. The Saturday Night Live alum supported a full beard on the summer night in the Big Apple as he made his way to the proceedings with his spouse, Jackie, 50. Monday's premiere was a bittersweet one, as the sequel to the 1996 sports film had to be rewritten following the February 2024 death of actor Carl Weathers. Weathers portrayed the role of Derick 'Chubbs' Peterson in the original, and 'had a massive part' in the sequel, Sandler told Collider, leading to a 'a painful change' in the script following his death. 'I would talk to Carl, and we were excited, and then Carl passed away,' Sandler said. 'We had to rewrite a lot of the stuff, and even what the story was. 'We made a lot of nice references to how great Chubbs was in the movie. That was the biggest change.' Sandler said that Weathers' role was expanded in initial drafts, and characters were added to bolster his presence in the sequel. 'In the first version that we came up with, he had a son,' Sandler said. 'He was coming back to me a lot in my dreams, and he had a son who was mad at Happy for causing the death of daddy.' While Sandler's character was a hockey player turned golfer, Weathers' character was a golfer who had to retire following an accident involving an alligator; and would go on to play with a wooden hand. The sequel brings back the original cast members Christopher McDonald, Julie Bowen and Ben Stiller. The new film also features stars such as Margaret Qualley, Eminem, Bad Bunny, Paige Spiranac and Adam's daughter Sunny Sandler playing his storyline daughter, Vienna Gilmore. Sadly, other original cast members who have died in the near-30 years since the release of the original include Bob Barker, who died at 99 in August of 2023; Frances Bay, who died in September of 2011 at 92; and actor Richard Kiel, who died at 74 in 2014.

Braless Lena Dunham embraces Natalie Portman while filming new Netflix rom-com
Lena Dunham excitedly embraced Natalie Portman, whom she teamed up with to co-produce her new Netflix rom-com Good Sex, in Manhattan's East Village on Monday. The 39-year-old writer-director bared her tattooed sleeves in a $148 GapStudio 'Draped Denim Slip' maxi-dress, matching blue neckerchief, and black Nike sneakers. Lena - who boasts 3M Instagram followers - shared a snap of her fit on Monday captioned: 'Really enjoying dressing for set and beyond this summer.' And the 44-year-old Oscar winner looked comfy in a beige T-shirt, grey sweatpants, and white Keds 'Champion Canvas Lace-Up' sneakers. Natalie (born Neta-Lee Hershlag) hauled a tote emblazoned with The New Yorker and she wore dark sunglasses over her make-up free complexion. Portman later got into costume as her newly-single character, successful couples therapist Ally, who's caught in a love triangle very similar to Celine Song's recent rom-com Materialists. The former child star slipped her slim 5ft3in figure into a $2,048 Prada 'Pleated Sablé' shirt, black mini-skirt, $1,115 Jacquemus 'The Calino' ring handbag, and patent leather long-tongue loafers. Natalie - clutching a to-go cup from Café Chrystie - also wore cat-eye sunglasses and $320 Jacquemus 'The Rond Carré' earrings as part of her costume. Portman's younger onscreen leading man - a Brooklyn hipster - will be played by Gen-Z singer Role Model (born Tucker Pillsbury) who, at 28, is 16 years her junior. The Israeli-born, Long Island-raised stunner's older onscreen leading man - successful Manhattanite Alan - will be played by Mark Ruffalo who, at 57, is 13 years her senior. The four-time Oscar nominee could be seen walking and talking with Dunham as they headed to the set. 'We are about a quarter through our shoot,' the eight-time Emmy nominee told THR last week. 'And as expected, no spoilers here — Natalie Portman is a very, very good actress. It's playing with the romantic comedy form to try to say something about our expectations about relationships, about love and about sex. I think my favorite romantic comedies — whether it's When Harry Met Sally, or Four Weddings and a Funeral, or Love and Basketball — I mean, these are movies that challenge our perceptions about what love is in the era that we live in. 'So that was the goal here, and it's just a joy to be with Natalie, Rashida Jones, Mark Ruffalo, Meg Ryan, and Tucker Pillsbury a.k.a. Role Model. They're all such interesting performers who are bringing such specificity to these parts, and I'm really enjoying my time in the trenches of this genre.' Indeed, Lena successfully courted rom-com queen Meg Ryan to play a mystery role in Good Sex after running into her at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concert in London last August. The 44-year-old Oscar winner looked comfy in a beige T-shirt, grey sweatpants, and white Keds 'Champion Canvas Lace-Up' sneakers Natalie (born Neta-Lee Hershlag) hauled a tote emblazoned with The New Yorker and she wore dark sunglasses over her make-up free complexion The former child star slipped her slim 5ft3in figure into a $2,048 Prada 'Pleated Sablé' shirt, black mini-skirt, $1,115 Jacquemus 'The Calino' ring handbag, and patent leather long-tongue loafers 'I decided, it's now or never, and I'm going to shoot my shot. She couldn't be a lovelier person,' Dunham revealed to Variety earlier this month. 'Shout-out Taylor — thank you for that. She brings everyone together; she makes the world go round.' As for the music, the Nora Ephron protégée enlisted her British-Peruvian husband of four years, Luis Felber, to compose the score just like he did with her previous projects Too Much and Sharp Stick. Back in January, Netflix won the bidding war in order to procure Good Sex for an eye-popping $55M. 'I really just want people to sit on a couch with their moms and their besties and lean in,' Lena told Variety. 'I love watching other filmmakers fight for the theatrical-release element — but I don't think this will live or die by that.' HarperCollins will publish Dunham's second memoir Famesick on September 1. Lena successfully courted rom-com queen Meg Ryan (R) to play a mystery role in Good Sex after running into her at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concert in London last August Darren Aronofsky's 2010 psychological thriller Black Swan - which earned Natalie her Academy Award - is returning to over 200 IMAX theaters on August 21 and 24 in honor of the 15th anniversary. Portman famously fell for her ex-husband - choreographer/dancer Benjamin Millepied - on the set of Black Swan in 2009 while he was still dating Isabella Boylston. Last year, the Fountain of Youth action star divorced the 48-year-old Frenchman following 11 years of marriage amid cheating allegations, and they're co-parents of son Aleph, 14; and daughter Amalia, 8.
