‘I got bored with retirement’ – Tyson Fury says he’s returning to boxing to equal Muhammad Ali’s record of being a three-time Ring Magazine champion and he wants to box until he’s 50

As expected, Tyson Fury has officially come out of retirement and he is now in pursuit of more history.

After Fury knocked out Dillian Whyte in front of 94,000 fans at Wembley Stadium in April earlier this year, he retired from the sport of boxing.

At the time, no one believed him and we have been proven right, as 'The Gypsy King' recently announced he would be returning to the ring.

It looked as if perhaps his retirement might be serious last month when he vacated his Ring Magazine title, but it turns out this was all a ploy to equal a record set by Muhammad Ali.

'The Greatest' is the only three-time Ring Magazine champion in boxing history, having won the title against Sonny Liston, George Foreman and Leon Spinks.

Fury is a two-time Ring Magazine champion, having beaten Wladimir Klitschko and Deontay Wilder for the title and now 'The Gypsy King' just needs to beat Oleksandr Usyk to equal Ali's record.

"I got bored with retirement," Fury told the Ring Magazine. "I had five months out the ring and I changed my mind.

"Nobody believed me anyway, did they? I would still have passed a lie detector test, though, for sure.
