After finally retiring, Tyson Fury made a shocking return to the ring in brutal BAREKNUCKLE boxing as Paige VanZant.

TYSON FURY was offered a way back to fighting after Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship president David Feldman stated that he is "on his radar".

After his win against Dillian Whyte, the Gypsy King declared his retirement from boxing.

He was open to returning to the squared circle after he entered talks with his British compatriot Derek Chisora about a three-round bout later in the year.

The domestic dust-up ended in failure, and Mancunian decided to double down on his decision last week to retire his gloves for his 34th birthday.

Fury's glittering boxing career is over, but he was offered the opportunity to fight in BKFC.

In recent years, a number of stars from high-profile UFC events have signed contracts with the American company. Paige VanZant, a former UFC champion, was one of those who took up a long-term deal in 2020.

Paulie Malignaggi, an ex-boxing champion, fought once in 2019, where he was defeated by Artem Lobov, a MMA ace.

Fury could be the next fighter to move to BKFC, after he relinquished the Ring magazine heavyweight title.

TalkSPORT's chief of BKFC, Feldman, stated that signing Tyson Fury is possible if they take us seriously as we are the new kid on block. Otherwise, they might not listen.

"If they listen, then absolutely we can make a deal.

"He is definitely on our radar. He would take this sport up a whole new level.

"You just witnessed it at Wembley Stadium, with nearly 100,000 people there.

"I believe Tyson Fury would take it to a whole new level, and we would absolutely love make a play to him."

Feldman said, "I just want to get more of these boxers. We will make a play to get some of these very good boxers.

"I cannot mention their names right away because it's not done, but we have two top 10 people in the world that we are currently negotiating with."
