‘We never know' – Tyson Fury's manager refuses to rule out comeback as Anthony Joshua nears new ‘amazing' fight deal
TYSON FURY'S manager has refused to rule out a comeback with Anthony Joshua nearing a bumper new fight deal. Fury announced his shock retirement in January - a month after losing to Oleksandr Usyk for the second time in 2024. 3 3 It has dashed any chance of a huge Battle of Britain bout against AJ - who was knocked out by Daniel Dubois in September. Joshua has since had elbow surgery amid talks with Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh over a new multiple fight deal. And Spencer Brown - Fury's manager and associate of Alalshikh told Boxing News: 'First of all, I think they've got to sign the deal first. "That's the most important part. What they're very good at, the Saudi Arabians, is a course. A road, and they want to know what road it is. "And if they can get the road in the right place, then they'll sign whatever deal you want as long as you're happy and they're happy with it. But they think forward 'So, it's a great move for Anthony Joshua, isn't it? A three-fight deal. Amazing. Amazing. Tyson's retired. Like I say, we never know though, do we? "But he's very busy at the moment. He's actually in the best place I've ever seen him. He's 12lbs above his fighting weight as well. "He looks really well. He's happy. He's got his kids with him constantly. Will he fight again? He's the Gypsy King, who knows?' CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Joshua, 35, snubbed the chance to rematch Dubois, 27, after his brutal KO loss at Wembley. And now Dubois rematches Usyk, 38, on July 19 two years after his stoppage loss to the Ukrainian. AJ's promoter Eddie Hearn is still holding out that Fury will return to fight Joshua. But the Gypsy King warned in May: 'I hear a lot of talk about the Gypsy King returning to boxing and I ask this question: for what? 'What would I return for? More belts? I've won 22 of them. I've been rumped, that's it, fair play to them, they got their use out of me. 'But I'm happy, I am happy, content with what I have achieved and accomplished. I've been around the world and back again. "And this is what retirement looks like for the Gypsy King, not too shabby.' 3

Jarrell Miller cuts ties with promoter Dmitry Salita
Jarrell Miller has said that he is no longer tied to promotional firm Salita Promotions. The statement was made in recent days by Miller on his Instagram page. This new development follows his withdrawal from a 7 June match against Fabio Wardley. That event, put on by Queensberry Promotions, had been set for Portman Road, the home stadium of Ipswich FC. Miller withdrew from the fight, citing an injury, but a new post on Instagram says that he has moved on from his promoters. The US heavyweight wrote that there were many conflicting stories and accounts currently going around, seemingly alluding to his withdrawal from the Ward fight. Miller wrote: 'Dimitry Salita is no longer my promoter. I have no promoter. I been dealing with slight set back [sic] and will be good in another week. The only person that can speak on my behalf is my manager – Spencer Brown.' The heavyweight promised that there would be future updates 'coming soon'. However, Miller did indicate that he had plans in the works with both Goldstar Promotions and Frank Warren. Despite a 26-1-2 (22) record, Miller has been moving out of heavyweight contention for some time. In his last fight, in August, he came away from a bruising encounter with Andy Ruiz, 35-2-1 (22), with a draw. That followed a loss by stoppage in ten rounds to Daniel Dubois, 22-2 (21), eight months earlier in Riyadh. The fight against Fabio Wardley had been an opportunity for Miller to re-announce himself onto the world scene after a tumultuous few years. In 2020, the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) banned Miller for two years after testing positive for a banned substance. That followed another failed drugs test, this time in New York, just a year earlier when he was popped for using a 'metabolic performance enhancer', EPO, and human growth hormone. Miller received a six-month suspension from the WBA for the first offense. He denied all wrongdoing but was subsequently caught out against months later by NSAC while reading to fight Jerry Forrest. Intriguingly, Miller has largely left US scrutiny behind since his failed test. His first fight following his suspension was in Buenos Aires, Argentina. After that, he went to Tennessee, then Dubai, Riyadh, and finally Los Angeles. Miller's fight against Wardley had been set for June until a press release from promoter Queensberry said that he was withdrawing due to a shoulder injury sustained in training. Subsequent developments have seen little-known Australian fighter Justis Huni, 12-0 (7) being brought in as a replacement.

‘Deal done' – Tyson Fury makes major announcement after business meeting with manager and dad John
TYSON FURY has inked a "deal" just hours after revealing he had a massive meeting on the cards. The Gypsy King revealed to his 6.4million Instgaram followers on Monday that he and dad John were attending an important "business meeting". 3 In a video story update, the former two-time heavyweight champion said: "Business meeting today, dad. En-route. Incoming, incoming." Fury's update sent boxing fans into a frenzy, with several of them assuming his meeting was about a ring return. The Wythenshawe warrior failed to provide clarity on the topic of the meeting, although he's since revealed that it was a fruitful one. Late on Monday, he posted a picture of himself with his dad, John and manager Spencer Brown to his story with "done deal" emblazoned across it. Fury, 36, has yet to reveal details of the agreement he's reached. But fight fans will be hoping it's a deal for him to return to the ring later this year. Fury hung up his gloves for a FIFTH TIME in January in protest at his second-straight defeat to Oleksandr Usyk. But he performed an unsurprising U-turn last month when he campaigned for a trilogy fight with the undefeated Ukrainian. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS 3 The fan favourite ramped up training in recent weeks and has continued to drop hints that he will return to the ring. A long-overdue Battle of Britain with Anthony Joshua is on the cards for Fury should he decide to lace up his gloves again. AJ to have surgery this week as Hearn reveals 'encouraging' Fury fight The domestic dust-up was seemingly a dead cert following Fury's failure to exact revenge on Usyk in their rematch last December. It appeared to be dead in the water when Fury announced his fifth retirement with a bizarre reference to highway robber Dick Turpin. But it's back on the table following Fury's latest retirement U-turn, which prompted long-time AJ promoter Eddie Hearn to exclusively tell SunSport: "Tyson Fury is a big tease. "Every day, I open up Instagram, like today, and he's got his wraps on saying he's done 12 rounds. "He looks super fit, Tyson Fury. He looks like he's ready to go now, which is encouraging. "But, obviously, probably the delay that AJ's got is a blessing, to be honest with you. "One, you've got Usyk against Dubois coming up, so that gives you a little bit of time. " "And number two, you've got Tyson Fury. Who could potentially come back to the ring. "So it's gonna be interesting to see what plays out."
