Tyson Fury and his wife, Paris, recently enjoyed a fun outing with pop icon Ed Sheeran in Manchester. The heavyweight champion, 33, and his childhood sweetheart posed for a photo with Sheeran, 31, who humorously put his fists up, trying to match Fury’s height of 6ft 9in, even while standing on a sofa.

Fury is currently relishing his retirement, a decision he announced following his knockout victory over Dillian Whyte in April. Despite his retirement, speculation about a potential comeback has persisted, especially with Anthony Joshua, 32, preparing for a rematch against Oleksandr Usyk, 35, to reclaim the WBA, IBF, and WBO heavyweight titles. A victory for Joshua could set the stage for a highly anticipated super-fight with Fury later this year.

Reports from the Daily Mail indicated that Fury was in secret talks with Saudi backers for a unification bout in December. However, Fury quickly dismissed these rumors, stating, “This is all news to me! Biggest load of rubbish ever!” His promoter, Frank Warren, also confirmed that no negotiations had taken place.

Fury’s retirement at 33 raised concerns about the possibility of the first-ever four-belt heavyweight unification, as fans were eager to see him compete for all major titles. For now, Fury seems focused on enjoying life outside the ring while maintaining a playful connection with his celebrity friends.
