Tyson Fury Plans Multi-Fight Future After Upcoming Bouts

By -

Tyson Fury has alleviated concerns that his upcoming matches against Francis Ngannou and Oleksandr Usyk will mark his final foray into the boxing ring.

The 35-year-old is slated to face the former UFC heavyweight champion in Saudi Arabia on October 28, just over a year after announcing his second retirement from the sport.


This brief hiatus lasted only four months before he returned to the ring to take on Derek Chisora in December 2022. Now, Fury has not only disclosed that he has no intention of slowing down but is actively pursuing a multi-fight contract following the highly anticipated bouts.

"I'm looking to secure another 10-fight deal after this," he informed ESPN. "So, I'm going to explore my options and see who offers the best deal for another 10 fights. What else is there? I retire, with plenty of money, numerous accomplishments, and I'm 35 years old. What am I going to do? This is what truly makes me happy—fighting."

Fury continued, "This is all I've ever done, and it's the only thing that has ever brought me happiness. So, it would be unwise to walk away from it now, especially when I'm earning millions of dollars and deriving immense joy from it."

Before Fury can embark on making future plans, he has two eagerly anticipated fights on his schedule. His first bout, against Ngannou—who will be making his professional boxing debut—will kick off Riyadh Season next week. 

This exhibition match, titled the "Battle of the Baddest," will not contribute to either fighter's official records. However, Fury must ensure that he exits the bout without any injuries as he prepares to face Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight championship, tentatively scheduled for December 23.

According to ESPN, the deal includes a two-way rematch clause that is likely to result in another bout next year.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league."
