Tyson Fury claims he won't return ever return to the ring - even for £1BILLION as he says the 'Gypsy King is dead'

Tyson Fury has declared the 'Gypsy King is dead', insisting he will never fight again - not even if offered £1billion - as he shuts down all talk of a dramatic return to the ring next year.

The 37-year-old former heavyweight champion, who has won every major belt in the sport, said he is finished with boxing for good, describing it as a brutal business that 'takes no prisoners, only casualties'. 

Fury's declaration comes amid mounting speculation that he could be tempted into a sensational 'Battle of Britain' showdown with Anthony Joshua in 2026 or a trilogy bout with Oleksandr Usyk.  

Speaking in a new interview with FurociTV, Fury admitted he has achieved everything he ever wanted, made more money than he could ever spend, and walked away with his health intact - something he says is worth more than any payday.

'Boxing just doesn't take any prisoners,' Fury said. 'It only takes casualties. So for me to be sat here with all my faculties in order, won every belt, made loads of money and not got a scratch on me. 

'I've done really well there. But I don't want to tempt fate. How many times can you go back to the well before you end up with brain damage or can't walk in a straight line? It'd be pointless then.'

The Gypsy King, who has fought some of the biggest names of his generation, said the competitive fire that once drove him to the top has burned out and that he's just a 'normal' man now. 

'The Gypsy King was a different animal,' he said. 'That person only came alive around the big events, the massive fights. But I'm not doing any boxing anymore. The Gypsy King is dead now.'

Instead, Fury says his focus is firmly on his wife Paris and their seven children, revealing that life as a full-time father is harder than any fight camp he's ever endured. 

'It was easy being a boxer. Training camps, being looked after like an egg in a cake, fed, trained, groomed by the best,' he admitted. 'Being a full-time dad and partner is much harder. It's constant.'

He described his days as 'very busy', filled with filming commitments for two Netflix documentaries and a new reality series. 'Life after boxing is hectic. Holidays, school runs, all of it. Every day's a weekend, every day's Christmas, every day's a bank holiday,' he said with a grin.

Despite hanging up the gloves, Fury maintains a strict routine, training daily and keeping to a disciplined diet. 'I don't eat what I want,' he explained. 'If I go out for a meal, it's a treat, not an everyday thing. Otherwise, you start to take it all for granted.'

The former world champion also spoke candidly about his mental health struggles and how his weight continues to affect his mood. 

'I put on a lot of weight very quickly,' he said. 'A number on the scale can make or break my day. If my weight's good, I'm happy and full of life. If it's bad, I'm down and depressed. It's all weight-related. You wouldn't think someone who's achieved everything could feel that way, but it matters that much to me.'

And while his children have grown up surrounded by fame and fortune, Fury insists he wants them to find their own paths - not to live off his name or money. 

'The best thing my kids can do is find a partner, settle down, get married, have some kids, and enjoy life,' he said. 'I don't want them growing up spoilt. I've seen enough of that world.'

As for whether any of the Fury clan will follow him into the ring, he's not ruling it out - but it won't be under his tutelage. 

'I could never be a boxing trainer,' he laughed. 'I've got no patience for babysitting adults. I hold the pads for a bit, sure, but full time? No thank you.'

He also touched on his long-running feud with Deontay Wilder, describing the American as the only opponent he's ever truly disliked. 

'After the first fight there was no issue,' Fury recalled. 'But then he started saying I put stuff in my gloves, wore wobbly suits, all that rubbish. It got really personal. I wanted to smash him. Even after the third fight, when I knocked him out, he was still calling me names. Bitter loser, really.'

Despite persistent rumours of a possible return, Fury insists there's 'no reason' for him to ever step into the ring again. He's done it all, and now, he says, it's about keeping his health, his sanity, and his family.

'Tyson Fury the boxer might have been the Gypsy King,' he said. 'But Tyson Fury the man is just a dad, a husband, someone who trains every day and pays the bills. That's enough for me now.'
