Tyson Fury got fans talking with a cryptic social media post, hinting at a possible return to boxing. The former heavyweight champion shared a video of himself at Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium with the caption "Did you miss me?"
This surprising move comes just two months after Fury announced his retirement from the sport. In January, he shocked the boxing world by saying:
"Hi everybody. I'm going to make this short and sweet. 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. Get up."
Fury's last fight was a unanimous decision loss to Oleksandr Usyk in December. That bout followed a split decision defeat to Usyk in May, where the Ukrainian became the undisputed heavyweight champion.
The timing of Fury's post has raised eyebrows, especially with recent rumors swirling about a potential fight against Anthony Joshua. Reports suggest Netflix has shown interest in broadcasting a Fury vs Joshua matchup, adding fuel to the comeback speculation.
Joshua, for his part, is coming off a fifth-round knockout loss to Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium in September. That fight was Joshua's attempt to become a three-time world heavyweight champion.
A Fury vs Joshua showdown has long been desired by boxing fans. With both fighters coming off losses, the matchup seems more possible than ever. However, as of now, Fury remains officially retired, and Joshua has been linked to other potential fights for the summer.
Fury's post at Old Trafford has certainly got people talking. Whether "The Gypsy King" will actually step back into the ring remains to be seen, but he's definitely keeping fans guessing.
