Tyson Fury ‘ages 30 years’ in bizarre Instagram post as Gypsy King declares ‘father time now’

TYSON FURY has given fans a bizarre glimpse into his future - after calling time on his glittering career. The Gypsy King decided to hang up his gloves last month following 16 years in the ring. Fury, the unified heavyweight world champion from 2015 to 2016, lost just two of his 37 pro fights.

Fans are convinced that Tyson, 36, will come out of retirement to fight again. He has announced his retirement five times in total, with his last hiatus from the ring in 2022. But despite rumours he will fight again, Tyson appears to be preparing for life after boxing.

Taking to Instagram on Saturday, the 36-year-old heavyweight uploaded an apparently doctored snap of him sporting a full white beard. Fury captioned the pic: "Father time now.". One fan responded: "See you in two weeks when you get bored.". Another laughed: "You aged yourself 30 years with your own hype.".

A blockbuster all-British bout against Anthony Joshua has been long in the making. Despite Fury's retirement announcement, AJ's promoter Eddie Hearn is pushing to get the fight on. Hearn told IFL TV about an ultimatum he has given Fury, saying: "Maybe there is a conversation in a week or two weeks or three weeks time.

By Wally Downes Jr. CALL ME a miserable fat little boxing cynic, but Tyson Fury's latest retirement just doesn't wash with me. It wasn't too long ago we were hearing he had a ten-fight deal with Saudi Arabia, that he was gonna fight Anthony Joshua twice, then he was going to face Joseph Parker twice.

He was planning on doing every fight in the world - there was even talk he'd rematch Francis Ngannou and do a better job. IF he has retired, then he goes out with an incredible career having made over £300million in boxing events alone, let alone all the extra stuff.

He does so having sacrificed bundles of his own life for such success. We know his wife Paris suffered a miscarriage going into the first Olesandr Usyk fight. We know for Deontay Wilder III, his little girl was put in intensive care, he barely even trained for that fight, he was sleeping on the hospital floor.

IF he has retired, IF it is genuine, then it's been an incredible career. And for the big showman, it's probably a nice little short sharp way to go out by just posting a video while sat inside his car. But I can't help but think that it's a bit of a ploy to drive AJ a little bit crazy.

AJ was at the Ring Awards the other day and put out a social media post saying "Fury, where are you? I'm looking for you.". It's the only fight that AJ wants, and Fury being wise and looking at the Floyd Mayweather playbook, knows that once you retire, you have to be coaxed out of retirement.

And how do you coax someone out of retirement? Loads more readies. The fact of the matter is, Fury has always told us: I'm a prize fighter, I do it for money, I'm gonna do it for as long as I can and make as much money as I can. So the idea that he suddenly ducks out now doesn't seem to ring quite true.

As Fury made the announcement, I was with Frank Warren and he said hadn't spoken to Tyson about it today, but that he hopes that it's true, that Fury's done enough and made enough money. IF it's true, then what an incredible career. Fury and AJ have put British boxing on the map where it's not been for decades, not since Lennox Lewis 25 years ago.

So thank you, but rather than being at his leaving party, which I'm sure The Sun would be invited to, I suspect we'll see him boxing AJ in Riyadh in a few months. "We say to Fury, 'Just to let you know, you don't wanna fight AJ, in the summer, August, September, because if you want to come out of retirement, now is the time to do it'.

"The only things I know are AJ wants to fight Fury and he wants to fight for the world heavyweight title, that's it.". Hearn additionally told Sky Sports: "We will ask the question. "Frank Warren was saying, 'Well, he's retired'. "I know but it's still my job to say we are going to make our decision, just double-checking there's no chance he's going to fight.".
