Tyson Fury has no regrets about boxing retirement: He's piling on the pounds in Tenerife!
TYSON FURY appears to be loving life after boxing as he enjoys a pre-Christmas holiday in Tenerife.
Tyson Fury became a world heavyweight champion before having to vacate his belts
Tyson Fury beat Wladimir Klitscho to become the WBO, WBA, and IBF world heavyweight champion in November 2015.
He was scheduled for a rematch against the legendary Ukrainian fighter in July but cancelled after being charged with "presence of a prohibited substance" by UK Anti-Doping.
Fury later revealed he had battled depression and tested positive for cocaine.
The 28-year-old now describes himself as a retired heavyweight champion, having vacated his world titles in October to allow himself to recover and get professional medical help.
However, fan pictures on Twitter appear to show the boxer substantially above his fighting weight while on holiday in Tenerife.
At 6ft 9in, Fury has never been one to hide his weight, lifting up his shirt and taunting Klitschko at a press conference ahead of their doomed rematch.
