Tyson Fury Travels 862 Miles to Call Out Next Opponent, Only to ‘Change His Mind’ on Boxing Return

It looks like WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury cannot make up his mind about retiring from boxing. Since his first announcement of retirement after his victory over Dillian Whyte, The Gypsy King has come out on multiple occasions stating that he would return, only to change his mind again.

Fury recently called out British boxer Derek Chisora for one last trilogy fight. He even announced his new trainer, Isaac Lowe, for the bout on social media.

Following this, Fury even traveled all the way to Iceland to confront the former World’s Strongest Man, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, better known as Thor or The Mountain.

Tyson Fury calls out The Mountain

The Gypsy King posted a video of him along with his father at the airport asking the audience where he was going. He then revealed that he was visiting Iceland to challenge Björnsson, who previously challenged Fury for a fight. Fury then calls out Thor in front of his gym.

“You know where we are in Iceland and you know what we’re doing here, looking for Thor. Come out and fight like a man,” said Fury in the video.

However, Thor was not in Iceland during this time, which made Fury mock him even more, “So we came to Iceland to fight Thor, he’s not here. So if you want more smoke from the Gypsy king, you have to come to find me. Thor, considering you’re not here, you’ve left Iceland for me, I’m the new Viking. I own this place now mine.” He said.

Following this, Björnsson responded back to Fury. He stated that he was currently in Rome and if Fury’s team were serious about this fight, they should send him a contract.

This fight looked like it could certainly be a possibility. However, this would only last for a day as Fury announced he would retire once again from boxing.

Fury changes his mind about boxing

Fury announced that he would be retiring from the sport once again on his 34th birthday. He thanked everyone who supported him on his journey to becoming heavyweight champion and called an end to an iconic career.

Many think that this is the last time Fury will retire as he announced this on his birthday, which might hold some symbolic value. But The Gypsy King has surprised us in the past and is yet to vacate his title. Thus, this announcement should be taken with a grain of salt.
