Tyson Fury returned to Manchester on Tuesday morning as the newly crowned WBC heavyweight champion of the world, following his stunning victory over Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas. The Gypsy King was greeted with a heavy armed police presence as he made his way through the airport, with GALA’s “Freed From Desire” playing to celebrate his arrival.

Fury was accompanied by his wife, Paris, and his brother, Shane, with Paris proudly wearing his new ‘The Ring’ title belt. As he emerged from the terminal, Fury smiled and waved to the crowd of fans and photographers who had gathered to welcome him back home.

After spending a couple of days celebrating and recovering from his dramatic technical knockout win, Fury reflected on the fight where he dominated Wilder, inflicting a nasty cut on his opponent’s lip and causing blood to drip from Wilder’s ear. The bout ended in the seventh round when Wilder’s corner threw in the towel, a decision that sparked anger from Wilder.

In an interview with Yahoo, Wilder expressed frustration with his corner’s decision, stating: “I am upset with Mark for the simple fact that we’ve talked about this many times. It’s not an emotional thing; it’s a principle thing. I want to go out on my shield.” He emphasized his warrior mentality and respect for the fight.

Looking ahead, there is a possibility for Wilder to seek revenge against Fury, thanks to a trilogy contract clause that opens the door for another rematch. This potential fight could take place in front of 70,000 fans at the under-construction Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. While the trilogy bout was initially expected to be scheduled for the summer, Fury’s promoter, Bob Arum, has indicated that an October date might be more feasible.

As the boxing world anticipates the next chapter in this fierce rivalry, Fury’s return to Manchester marks a significant moment in his storied career.
