Tyson Fury shows his true colours with worrying OIeksandr Usyk claim
Tyson Fury has not taken kindly to Oleksandr Usyk's comments on his two defeats and has refused to accept he lost to the Ukrainian as he eyes a return to the ring Tyson Fury has yet to come to terms with his two losses to Oleksandr Usyk as he eyes a comeback. Despite announcing his retirement from the sport in January following a second defeat at the hands of Usyk, who is gearing up for a Wembley showdown with Daniel Dubois on July 19, Fury seems poised for a return. This comes after Usyk hinted he only plans to fight twice more. When probed by The Stomping Ground about a potential third fight with Fury, Usyk teased: "Maybe it's Tyson Fury. Maybe it's Anthony Joshua." Speaking specifically about Fury, Usyk remarked: "He's not retired. I think Tyson will continue training, continue boxing, because he's a great man. Yes, Tyson Fury... a lot of speak - blah blah blah blah - but it's good. Great man, wow." Not one to stay silent, Fury clapped back on Instagram replying to the interview post, boasting: "Beat the f***er two times, the world knows the truth. Any time, any place. sucker UK next time 100k people." Fury stirred the pot further with a video posted on social media alongside former trainer SugarHill Steward, hinting at a possible return to the ring. In the video, the Gypsy King teases: "Just in the gym, happened to bump into somebody you might know." The camera then pans to Steward who playfully suggests: "You know what time it is!" to which Fury responds in kind, "You know what's coming." Spencer Brown, the manager for the 'Gypsy King' Tyson Fury, had a chinwag with iFL TV and shared how the heavyweight champ is faring. "I spoke to him last week, he's really happy. Really happy. He's getting a little bit bored but he was really happy," Brown revealed. Not only did he share Fury's current mood, but Brown also dished on what Tyson's been up to lately: "I think he went to a nice birthday party over the weekend and had a few beers. Just speaking to him gives you a bit of light in your life because he makes you smile and he doesn't anything too seriously." The topic naturally moved on to the titan's future within the ropes, where Brown confirmed, "Is he going to fight again? He's retired. He might be getting a little bit bored at the moment but that's just a natural thing. He's just enjoying himself, he's running everyday." And it seems the boxing behemoth has been keeping in shipshape condition, as Brown complimented: "He's really looking good. He's tanned, he's fit. He looks good. I was quite surprised when I saw him. He's usually eating Jelly Babies and sweets but this time none of that. He's proper on his diet." As buzz builds around Fury's potential comeback fight, all eyes are turning towards a British brawl against Anthony Joshua who's set to bounce back into training in July following an injury. Last seen in the ring getting roughed up by Dubois within five rounds at Wembley last September, Joshua will likely be Fury's opponent if the latter laces up his gloves again.

Tyson Fury hints at boxing return as he posts social media clip from the gym
Tyson Fury has hinted that he could be set for a return to boxing. The Gypsy King retired from the ring earlier this year but cryptically hinted that he could come back for more after posting footage of a gym session with his coach SugarHill Steward. Fury, 36, said: "Just in the gym, I bump into somebody you might know." Steward added: "We're back guys, you know what time it is." Fury then said: "You know what's coming." The social media post comes after the fighter's promoter Bob Arum revealed that he didn't expect the former world champion to return to boxing. The Top Rank chief said earlier this month: "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." Fury's manager Spencer Brown also suggested that the fighter was likely to stay retired, even though he was getting a "bit bored" away from the squared circle. Brown told iFL TV: "He's getting a little bit bored but he was really happy. "Just speaking to him gives you a bit of light in your life because he makes you smile and he doesn't take anything too seriously. "Is he going to fight again? He's retired. He might be getting a little bit bored at the moment but that's just a natural thing. "He's just enjoying himself, he's running everyday. He's really looking good. "He's tanned, he's fit. He looks good. I was quite surprised when I saw him. "He's usually eating Jelly Babies and sweets but this time none of that. He's proper on his diet." Fury announced his retirement from the ring in January, even though he declared that he had no intention to quit after losing his world title fight to Oleksandr Usyk last December. In a video posted on social media, the sportsman said: "Hi everybody, I'm going to make this short and sweet. "I'd like to announce my retirement from boxing. It's been a blast, I've loved every single minute of it. "I'm going to end with this - Dick Turpin wore a mask. God bless everybody, see you on the other side."

Tyson Fury drops biggest hint yet that he is ready to return to boxing
The former two-time heavyweight world champion retired back in January, but recently hinted at a potential return after returning to the gym Tyson Fury has seemingly dropped a major bombshell about his future after training with his former coach SugarHill Steward. Back in January, the 'Gypsy King' shocked the boxing world after announcing his retirement from boxing. "Hi everybody, I'm going to make this short and sweet," he said to the camera. "I'd like to announce my retirement from boxing. It's been a blast, I've loved every single minute of it. I'm going to end with this. Dick Turpin wore a mask. God bless everybody, see you on the other side. Get up!" Since then, the former two-time heavyweight world champion has teased fans about a potential return to the ring, posting several clips of him training. However, his biggest hint yet came on Monday morning after he uploaded a short video in the gym alongside SugarHill. Fury, 36, who was sweating slightly after potentially wrapping up a workout said: "Just in the gym, happened to bump into somebody you might know." He then shifted the camera towards the direction of an energetic and happy SugarHill - who replied: "You know what time it is!" The 'Gypsy King' had the last say before ending the story: "You know what's coming," he said - seemingly teasing a return to the ring. Earlier this month, the 36-year-old had sent boxing fans into meltdown after he returned to the gym and looked very sharp on the heavy bag - with some believing he looks set to face Anthony Joshua. His retirement announcement came just weeks after suffering his second defeat to Oleksandr Usyk, but the boxing faithful had hopes that Fury and Joshua would finally clash this year. Recently, Fury's manager Spencer Brown revealed that the Brit is still retired, but is struggling with boredom. He told iFL TV: "I spoke to him last week, he's really happy. Really happy. He's getting a little bit bored but he was really happy. I think he went to a nice birthday party over the weekend and had a few beers. Just speaking to him gives you a bit of light in your life because he makes you smile and he doesn't anything too seriously. "Is he going to fight again? He's retired. He might be getting a little bit bored at the moment but that's just a natural thing. He's just enjoying himself, he's running everyday. He's really looking good. He's tanned, he's fit. He looks good. I was quite surprised when I saw him. He's usually eating Jelly Babies and sweets but this time none of that. He's proper on his diet." Despite Fury's retirement announcement, boxing promoter Eddie Hearn hasn't lost hope as of yet - regarding a potential Fury vs Joshua showdown - and believes it's all on the 'Gypsy King' to rescue the heavyweight super-fight. In an interview with iFL TV, the promoter said: "I said it the other day in an interview, the way that fight gets made is probably Tyson reaches out to AJ and says, 'Mate, do you fancy it?' And he'll go, '100 per cent, let's f***ing do it.' And it'll be made like that. So let's see." Top Rank COO Brad Jacobs recently claimed that the heavyweight star could be tempted out of retirement by a potential fight with 'AJ'. Speaking to Sky Sports about the potential fight, Jacobs said: "He looks like he's happy retired and doing it, but he's done that before. But if not God bless him, he's earned what he's got. I believe there is the potential for it. What happens nobody knows. Tyson has done shocking things before, and it wouldn't surprise me if he did it again."
