The Gypsy King announced he wouldn't be returning to the sport earlier this month

Boxing promoter Frank Warren has revealed he doesn't expect Tyson Fury to U-turn on retirement at the current moment in time.

The Gypsy King stunned the world at the start of the month when he announced he'd be quitting the sport, just weeks after losing to Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia for a second time.


Fury has retired in the past, only to end up coming back.

Many feel he will still return to the ring amid the possibility of a mouthwatering showdown with Anthony Joshua.

Yet Warren, speaking to Seconds Out, has now revealed that Fury is 'happy' and that he doesn't currently expect him to go back to boxing.

"I've spoken to him a couple of times very briefly, he has been spending a lot of time with his family," he said.

"He's in Disneyland at the moment so he's enjoying himself and enjoying time with his family.

"Last year, in camp he was [training for] 10 weeks and then he got the cut eye and then he went back in straight again for another few months in camp and then he was in camp for three months for the last fight.

"He’s enjoying his retirement and spending time with his family.

"If he’s happy, I’m happy!"

Prior to his second defeat to Usyk, Fury opted to take a three-month break from wife Paris in order to boost his chances of victory.

Now he's retired, however, the pair have been enjoying some much-needed time together.

Fury, Paris and their seven children recently posed for pictures at Disneyland Paris - with the family appearing to be in good spirits.

And the boxing icon and his other half have since jetted off to Scotland, with the duo spending time at Donald Trump's luxury hotel in the country.
