Tyson Fury says ‘you know what's coming' after reuniting with coach in the gym
Tyson Fury hinted at a potential comeback with a cryptic social media video on Monday alongside his former coach SugarHill Steward.
Fury, 36, announced his retirement from boxing in January after losing to heavyweight rival Oleksandr Usyk for the second time, but he has previously reversed retirement decisions and his long-anticipated showdown with Anthony Joshua remains unfulfilled.

'Just in the gym,' Fury said in a short video, before turning the camera to a cackling Steward. 'Happened to bump into somebody you might know.'
'You know what time it is,' Steward said. And Fury added: 'You know what's coming.'
The timing of the post was intriguing, given Usyk's next fight – a rematch with Daniel Dubois – was confirmed hours earlier. That news leaves Fury and Anthony Joshua as the odd men out in the heavyweight division, as well as Fury's friend Joseph Parker.
Fury's former promoter Bob Arum recently suggested he wouldn't be back in the ring any time soon, speaking to the BBC 5 Live Boxing podcast.

Arum said: 'If I was a betting man I would say he will never fight again. Marvin Hagler had an expression – 'a rich guy who goes to bed wearing silk pyjamas doesn't get up in the morning to do road work'.
'Tyson, really, I don't think wants to get up in the morning and do road work and go through the experience of having to train when economically he doesn't have to do it any more.'

Tyson Fury's undefeated streak came to an end with consecutive losses against Usyk in Saudi Arabia.
The two bouts, taking place in May and December of last year, blemished Fury's previously unmarred record. His current standing is 34 wins, one draw, and two defeats.

Fight fans speculated Fury was ready to return after being seen working out in his own gym, while current promoter Eddie Hearn last week said a long-awaited showdown with Joshua could still take place.

Tyson Fury swears live on ITV while giving England Soccer Aid team pre-game talk
Dermot O'Leary offered a 'profuse apology' to ITV viewers as heavyweight champion Tyson Fury swore live on air while giving the England Soccer Aid 2025 team a pre-match talk. And Hollywood star Julia Roberts made an appearance at Old Trafford, chatting to former Manchester United star Wayne Rooney at the annual fundraising match, which sees an England team take on Soccer Aid World XI FC to raise money for aid organisation Unicef. Fury, who joined the charity football match as a manager for England, gave an impassioned speech in the locker rooms prior to the game starting. He said: 'Let them know how good we are. We are England. We are f****** Spartans. We are Spartans.' Presenters Alex Scott and Dermot O'Leary apologised afterwards, with Scott saying: 'What can I say about Tyson Fury? We do apologise for the swearing, but it is Tyson Fury, we don't know what's going to happen.' O'Leary added: 'We do profusely apologise.' Pretty Woman-star Roberts was seen taking photographs at Old Trafford, smiling next to the former England striker Wayne Rooney, who, minutes into the game, scored the first goal for England. Among the England team line-up alongside Rooney were former One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson and Olympic gold-medallist Sir Mo Farah. Last of Us star Bella Ramsey also joined this year's England team along with comedian Paddy McGuinness, former Manchester United player Gary Neville and singer Tom Grennan. Last year, the match ended with a 6-3 win for England, with the Three Lions taking home the win for the first time in six years. Soccer Aid was co-founded in 2006 by Robbie Williams to raise money for the children's aid organisation Unicef. Since the fundraising match was first founded nearly two decades ago, it has raised more than £106 million.

Why has Sam Thompson pulled out of Soccer Aid? New role in Unicef match revealed
Today (June 15) will see many celebrities and football legends unite at Soccer Aid for Unicef, as they battle it out on the pitch in the world's 'biggest' charity football match. England will once again take on the Soccer Aid World XI FC at Old Trafford in Manchester. Among the line-up is former Lioness Jill Scott, One Direction's Louis Tomlinson and new signing Tyson Fury, plus many more. However, earlier this week, I'm a Celeb winner Sam Thompson announced he has had to pull out of the match and will no longer play alongside Tom Grennan, Bella Ramsey and Mo Farah. After training on Friday (June 13), Sam revealed he had to step down as a player in Soccer Aid this year because of an injury he sustained during his five-day Soccer Aid challenge, which saw him run and cycle a total of 260 miles. His Match Ball Mission has raised more than £1.5 million for Unicef. But for those who were looking forward to seeing Sam in action, the good news is that he will still be part of Soccer Aid, which takes place this evening. Speaking on ITV's This Morning, as reported by The Mirror, Sam explained: "I'm still very sore, still got the torn calf, however I am here at Soccer Aid HQ and it does not get better than this. 'We've still got the management team of England, we've got Vicky McClure, Tyson Fury, who's stepping into some new shoes and Harry Redknapp... "But also because I'm not going to be able to run around, you've also got me, part of the management team. Come on baby! ... I came here with high hopes and went to see Gary the physio and I can kick a ball from a standing start, but when it comes to like general chaos of playing competitive sport there's just no way. 'I can't really run properly so yeah. They were very kind and said we still want you to be a part, so I get to go on the dark side with Tyson Fury." Soccer Aid 2025 will see Love Island voiceover legend Iain Stirling and TalkSPORT and ITV Sport broadcaster Sam Matterface take on commentator duties. Meanwhile, the England v Soccer Aid World XI FC charity match will be presented by Dermot O'Leary and Alex Scott.
