Tyson Fury believes his best is yet to come ahead of charity fight

Tyson Fury, the former two-time heavyweight champion, declared that "the best is yet to come" for him, even as he approaches his late thirties and prepares for upcoming bouts.

“

I don't have the impression that the world has seen the best of Tyson Fury yet.

Speaking from Pattaya, Thailand, where he is training for a fight against Mariusz Wach, Fury expressed feeling rejuvenated and at peace, a stark contrast to the pressures he felt previously. He noted that while he could have sold 100,000 tickets at Wembley, his decision to fight in Thailand was for a good cause, with proceeds benefiting underprivileged children in Pattaya. The fight, scheduled for Friday night, will take place in a smaller 1,500-seat venue.

I feel rejuvenated. I was supposed to box in Dublin, but the opportunity to fight here arose and to do it for a good cause.

Fury, known as the "Gipsy King," stated that money is not his primary motivation, having earned substantial wealth throughout his career. He boxes now for fitness and enjoyment, asserting his right to do as he pleases. "I've earned the right to do exactly what I want from now on," he declared.

While focused on his upcoming charity fight, Fury remained tight-lipped about the highly anticipated "Battle of Britain" against Anthony Joshua, slated for later this year. Fury had previously retired after his second consecutive loss to Oleksandr Usyk in late 2024, taking a full year off before announcing his return in January and securing a win against Arslanbek Makhmudov in London in April. Meanwhile, Anthony Joshua is set to fight Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia, his first match since a car accident in Nigeria.

I've earned a lot of money throughout my career. I box to stay in shape and because I enjoy doing it. I've earned the right to do exactly what I want from now on. I am the 'Gipsy King', I do what I want.
