Tyson Fury doubles down on boxing comeback and announces new trainer

Tyson Fury has confirmed his new coach ahead of 'boxing comeback' with 28-year-old boxer Isaac Lowe being the man to take over from SugarHill Steward. The Lancaster boxer fought on Fury's undercard against Dillian Whyte, suffering defeat to Nick Ball, and has trained with the Gypsy King for well over 10 years.

Fury has doubled down on his intentions to make his boxing comeback and has named his opponent as Derek Chisora for their third fight. The two previously fought in 2011 and 2014, with Fury coming out as winner in two dominant showings by a younger Gypsy King.

Fury has stated on numerous occasions that he'd like to fight Chisora to complete their trilogy. However, the timing may be seen as strange, with Chisora coming towards the end of his career after three defeats in his last four fights.

Despite announcing his retirement, Fury has not yet surrendered his belts and is still officially heavyweight champion. Now he's named his opponent and new coach on social media.

Fury said: "I have decided to comeback to boxing because I can be the first heavyweight champion in history to have two trilogies, one with Deontay Wilder and one with Dereck Chisora. I always said I wanted to have a trilogy with Chisora at the end of my career, and here we are.

"Why have I chosen Isaac as my coach? When I was with Peter, Isaac was there. When I was with Ben, Isaac was there. When I was with SugarHill, Isaac was there. He has always given me information and we're a great team. We're going to finish this out together."

Lowe added: "Yeah I am looking forward to the new challenge. I have been with you your whole career but its a new challenge to me - I can put something new together. Its a tough task but I look forward to it."

Fury has been keeping up his usual training routine despite confirming multiple times that he is retiring after beating Whyte - and even posted an image of him training with Joseph Parker after calling out Chisora.

Fury said: "This one goes out to Derek 'The s***house' Chisora; you're running Derek, from the trilogy," in a video posted on social media. "You call yourself 'War' but you should call yourself chicken because you're running from the trilogy and from a career-high pay day. Get that f***ing contract signed."

It has been suggested that the undefeated Fury would come out of retirement to fight the winner of Joshua vs Usyk's rematch which takes place in Saudi Arabia next weekend, with many already saying that Chisora could be a warm up fight for AJ or Usyk.
