TYSON FURY won’t return to the ring this year because of a little-known contractual commitment, promoter Frank Warren has revealed.
And it’s NOT the Gypsy King’s filming of the latest instalment of ‘At Home with the Furys’.

Season two of the hit Netflix show is currently being filmed, with Fury giving behind-the-scenes updates on its progress on his Instagram.
But that isn’t stopping the former two-time heavyweight champion from preparing for his ring return, which he paved the way for in April.
Fury does, however, have a separate documentary in the pipeline with the streaming giants has put the brakes on a 2025 comeback for the Wythenshawe warrior.
Queensberry Promotion’s chief Warren told The Ring Magazine earlier this week: “I spoke to him over the weekend very briefly
“And he’s doing what he’s always doing, which is in the gym training.”
If Tyson’s at the gym, how and why is Netflix stopping him from returning to boxing?
“He’s not coming back this year because he has commitments on Netflix with the ‘At Home With The Furys 2’ and he’s doing a documentary also for Netflix.
“Then, after that, he will come back and we’ll discuss who he’s going to fight and so forth.”

Fury, 36, hung up his gloves for the fifth time in January in the wake of his second straight defeat to pound-for-pound king Oleksandr Usyk.
The former WBC king felt hard done by the judges and refused to fight again, although he’s since called for a trilogy fight with his Ukrainian rival.
Boxing fans, however, want to see Fury finally settle the score with long-time rival Anthony Joshua in a blockbuster Battle of Britain.
But Fury’s sights are seemingly solely set on reducing the deficit in his series with Usyk, which he claims is on course to take place at Wembley on April 18.
He said: “The all-British fight with Joshua will be big.
“And if we both go to our grave – without having fought each other – it would be a travesty for British boxing.
“But I feel like, what I really want is revenge.
“But I only want to fight Oleksandr Usyk at Wembley, in front of 100,000 people, and lift all the belts. That would be my dream.
“My second dream would be that massive fight with Anthony Joshua.
“I am a prize fighter first and foremost. So, if the money is right, then we can do a deal. If the money is right, then it’s a deal.”
