Tyson Fury has provided an update on whether he will return to the ring following speculation that he has been training for a comeback.

In his last outing in December Fury suffered a second consecutive defeat to Oleksandr Usyk as he failed to avenge his loss to the unified heavyweight champion in Saudi Arabia.

The following month the Gypsy King took to social media to announce that he was retiring from competition effective immediately.

Despite the announcement, fans remained hopeful that a long-awaited clash with Anthony Joshua could ultimately materialise, particularly given Fury had announced his retirement on no fewer than four previous occasions before returning to the ring.

Those hopes were further buoyed by recent footage of the former heavyweight king working in the gym alongside his longtime trainer SugarHill Steward.

However, in a video shared to his Instagram account from a picturesque Lake Como villa Fury reaffirmed his decision to hang up his gloves.

However, the former unified heavyweight champion insisted he is content with what he has accomplished in boxing

‘I hear a lot of talk about the Gypsy King returning to boxing and I ask this question: for what?’ Fury said on Friday.

‘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.

‘This is what retirement looks like for the Gypsy King, not too shabby.’

The 36-year-old then briefly appeared to leave the door open to a potential return in the future, before subsequently reiterating that his fighting career is over.

‘I’m in no rush at all, to come back to boxing and get my face punched in,’ he added.

‘For what? What would I return for? I ask that question. I am retired and I am staying retired.

‘I have nothing to prove to anybody and nothing to return for.’

In addition to updating fans about his retirement, Fury also used his excursion to the city in northern Italy to watch Cesc Fabregas’ Como in their defeat against Inter Milan on Thursday.
