Tyson Fury has once again insisted that he will not be returning to the ring after being interviewed at Doncaster racecourse.
Despite the losses, many within the boxing community still expected Fury to have a prosperous 2025 with a potential showdown with Anthony Joshua still possible.
In the months since that declaration, rumours have linked Fury to a comeback and some figures close to him have speculated he will eventually be back inside the ring at some point this year.
After Usyk defeated Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium last month, he made it clear in his post-fight interview that he would be open to a third bout with Fury.
That bout, despite the first two results, would likely do big business, but it now appears unlikely to take place as Fury has once again stated that he would not be returning to the ring.
"Never,” said Fury when asked by Sky Sports whether he would be making a comeback.
"Too old, look at my beard, all grey. Boxing is a young man's game.”
