Tyson Fury shows humble side with wife Paris as he stays fighting fit after retirement

Boxer Tyson Fury looks keen to stay fighting fit after his retirement from the ring. But instead of expensive training camps and private sessions, the Gypsy King – who has a £120million fortune – headed to his local council-run gym. Tyson, 36, and wife Paris, 35, walked to Salt Ayre Leisure Centre, which is owned by Lancaster council and offers sessions for just £11. As well as a gym, it has a swimming pool, climbing wall and a beauty spa.
The British former heavyweight champion – who built a gym at hometown club Morecambe FC’s ground – quit boxing last week, following a second defeat to Oleksandr Usyk last month. It was the first time the couple had been pictured together since Tyson revealed that his boxing career was "over".
He said: "I'd like to announce my retirement from boxing. It's been a blast. I've loved every single minute of it and I'm going to end with this: 'Dick Turpin wore a mask'. God bless everybody, see you on the other side.". The self-styled 'Gypsy King' last said that he would not fight again in 2022, after he stopped Dillian Whyte at Wembley. He fought Derek Chisora five months later. It was widely anticipated that Tyson would face fellow Brit Anthony Joshua before his latest announcement on social media.
Promoter Eddie Hearn has given Fury a tight deadline to reverse his retirement decision if a fight with Joshua is to be revived. “None of us know what Fury will do next, but if we are to see the fight in the summer, he would probably have to come out of retirement in the next three or four weeks," Hearn said in mid-January.
