Tyson Fury backs former president Donald Trump to win 2024 election

Tyson Fury expects Donald Trump to run for election in 2024 - and win.

Trump held office between 2017 and 2021 and continues to dispute his defeat by Joe Biden in the 2020 vote. He has teased a return to the campaign trail in two years' time - and Fury believes he can storm back to power.

Asked by Piers Morgan to confirm Trump had told him he was definitely running again, Fury said: "I think he'll get it in 2024, I think Donald Trump will be President of the United States." Pushed on whether Trump did indeed reveal his plans, Fury said: "I'm not going to go on about what he did or didn't say in a private conversation, but I think he'll be president again."

Fury himself insists his future lies away from the ring following his KO win over Dillian Whyte last weekend. Fury dropped and stopped his challenger in the sixth round in front of 94,000 fans at Wembley before announcing his retirement.

And he insisted there will be no U-turn, despite the promise of a lucrative undisputed showdown with the winner of Oleksandr Usyk's rematch with Anthony Joshua. "Every good dog has his day, there will always be someone else to fight," he added.

Who will make a comeback first; Tyson Fury or Donald Trump? Let us know in the comments section below

"When is enough enough? I've got a wife, six kids, umpteen belts, fame, glory, what else am I doing it for? Boxing is a dangerous sport, you can be taken out by one punch like we saw on Saturday night.

"I'm quitting while I'm ahead, as the second man in history to retire as the undefeated heavyweight world champion after Rocky Marciano. It's not worth it, I've got four kids to look after and two older ones; I've travelled all over the world, when do I get time to be a husband and a father?

"I've been boxing for over 20 years, every dog has his day in the sun and I'm going out on top."
