Might we have seen the last ever of Tyson Fury in the ring? Promoter Bob Arum believes that Fury will not return to boxing after the heavyweight boxer announced his retirement in January.

The 36-year-old Briton made the maybe-not-so-surprising decision to retire just a few weeks after suffering a second successive loss to WBA (Super), WBC, and WBO champion, Ukraine's Oleksandr Usyk.

Critics will say that Fury has retired more than once in his illustrious career meaning he might have a change of heart in future, but American promoter Arum who represented him in the past does not expect another comeback from the fighter as he feels the financial motivation is not there.

"If I was a betting man, I would say he will never fight again," Arum told the BBC 5 Live Boxing podcast.

"To paraphrase, '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 anymore," he opined.

Fury has retired five times, including in 2017 amid a dispute with UK Anti-Doping before making his comeback in 2018, and after beating Dillian Whyte in April 2022, returning later that year.

Despite the retirement announcement, it has not stopped rivals calling Fury out in public or fans speculating about a potential comeback following an appearance of him working out in his personal gym.

His last three fights took place in Saudi Arabia, having last fought in the UK in 2022 when he downed fellow Brit Derek Chisora at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Fury has a record of 34 wins, one draw and two defeats.

Those two losses came against the unbeaten Usyk, who ended Fury's 15-year unbeaten streak as a professional in their first contest last May before winning the December rematch.

Promoter Eddie Hearn last week suggested the long-awaited domestic bout between Fury and Anthony Joshua could still happen, should the 'Gypsy King' personally reach out to his domestic rival for a bout which so far has not been forthcoming.
