Tyson Fury Next Fight: Could the Gyspy King ditch the gloves?

Boxing legend Tyson Fury recently revealed that he had retired from the sport, but could the ‘Gypsy King’ be making his way to a different version of the sweet science, namely Bare Knuckle boxing?

Bare Knuckle boxing, namely BKFC, has grown in popularity massively over the past couple of years, with the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships set to run a show in Wembley Arena on Saturday, August 20th 2022, the same night that Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk will be competing in Saudi Arabia.

Bringing in a megastar the level of Fury would certainly be a major play from BKFC to further cement their status as one of the most prominent combat sports brands in the
