Tyson Fury is keeping himself ticking over as boxing fans eagerly await his return to the ring.

‘The Gypsy King’ hung up his gloves in January after suffering back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk.

However, he has hinted at a retirement U-turn in recent weeks.

The Mancunian first sparked speculation that he could be about to launch a comeback when he uploaded a video in the gym with long-time trainer SugarHill Steward last month.

“Just in the gym. I just bumped into somebody you might know,” he said before turning the camera to Steward.

He then gave the biggest indication that he would reverse his retirement by saying: “You know what is coming.”

Steward concurred: “You know what time it is.”

Fury hasn’t slacked off training since his session with Steward.

In fact, he has only ramped up his workouts.

Earlier this week, Fury sparred with undefeated heavyweight Ricky Gorman for 12 rounds, and on Friday afternoon, he gave fans a glimpse of the kind of shape he is in by uploading a clip of him working the aqua bag.

The two-time heavyweight world champion looked light on his feet as he unleashed a flurry of punches.

Reacting to the clip, one fan wrote: “Looking stronger.”

Another commented: “He’s coming back stronger than ever.”

A third added: “Moving like a light heavyweight champ.”

Meanwhile, somebody else posted: “Looking great.”

Boxing fans will be hoping the long-awaited all-British showdown between Fury and Anthony Joshua can finally get over the line next.

However, Fury has suggested in recent weeks that he is more interested in a trilogy with Usyk.

He recently sent a message to his old rival on Instagram, reading: “Beat the f***er 2 times the world knows the truth.

“Any time, any place. sucher (sic) UK next time 100k people.”

Fury’s manager, Spencer Brown, also believes a third fight with Usyk is the matchup to get his client to lace up the gloves again.

“He’s retired, but you never know with Tyson Fury,” Brown told Boxing News.

“He’s an enigma, isn’t he? I said a couple of tongue-in-cheek things last week.

“Tyson says stuff. Without him, it’s not as fun as it was with him.

“He is enjoying himself at the moment, he’s got a lot of work on.

“But if he gets his head around it and he is happy, then maybe you will see him back.
