Tyson Fury ‘ages 30 years’ in bizarre Instagram post as Gypsy King declares ‘father time now’

TYSON FURY has given fans a bizarre glimpse into his future – after calling time on his glittering career.

The Gypsy King decided to hang up his gloves last month following 16 years in the ring.

Fury, the unified heavyweight world champion from 2015 to 2016, lost just two of his 37 pro fights.

Fans are convinced that Tyson, 36, will come out of retirement to fight again.

He has announced his retirement five times in total, with his last hiatus from the ring in 2022.

But despite rumours he will fight again, Tyson appears to be preparing for life after boxing.

Taking to Instagram on Saturday, the 36-year-old heavyweight uploaded an apparently doctored snap of him sporting a full white beard.

Fury captioned the pic: “Father time now.”

One fan responded: “See you in two weeks when you get bored.”

Another laughed: “You aged yourself 30 years with your own hype.”

While a third joked, referencing Tyson’s dad: “Big Johns had a glow up.”

And a fourth predicted: “Until you announce AJ [Antony Joshua] in summer…”

Fury left boxing behind again following his second defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.

A blockbuster all-British bout against Anthony Joshua has been long in the making.

Despite Fury’s retirement announcement, AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn is pushing to get the fight on.

Hearn told IFL TV about an ultimatum he has given Fury, saying: “Maybe there is a conversation in a week or two weeks or three weeks time.

View of The Sun's boxing expert: 'I think it's a ploy'

By Wally Downes Jr

CALL ME a miserable fat little boxing cynic, but Tyson Fury’s latest retirement just doesn’t wash with me.

It wasn’t too long ago we were hearing he had a ten-fight deal with Saudi Arabia, that he was gonna fight Anthony Joshua twice, then he was going to face Joseph Parker twice.

He was planning on doing every fight in the world – there was even talk he’d rematch Francis Ngannou and do a better job.

IF he has retired, then he goes out with an incredible career having made over £300million in boxing events alone, let alone all the extra stuff.

He does so having sacrificed bundles of his own life for such success.

We know his wife Paris suffered a miscarriage going into the first Olesandr Usyk fight.

We know for Deontay Wilder III, his little girl was put in intensive care, he barely even trained for that fight, he was sleeping on the hospital floor.

IF he has retired, IF it is genuine, then it’s been an incredible career.

And for the big showman, it’s probably a nice little short sharp way to go out by just posting a video while sat inside his car.

But I can’t help but think that it’s a bit of a ploy to drive AJ a little bit crazy.

AJ was at the Ring Awards the other day and put out a social media post saying “Fury, where are you? I’m looking for you.”

It’s the only fight that AJ wants, and Fury being wise and looking at the Floyd Mayweather playbook, knows that once you retire, you have to be coaxed out of retirement.

And how do you coax someone out of retirement? Loads more readies.

The fact of the matter is, Fury has always told us: I’m a prize fighter, I do it for money, I’m gonna do it for as long as I can and make as much money as I can.

So the idea that he suddenly ducks out now doesn’t seem to ring quite true.

As Fury made the announcement, I was with Frank Warren and he said hadn’t spoken to Tyson about it today, but that he hopes that it’s true, that Fury’s done enough and made enough money.

IF it’s true, then what an incredible career.

Fury and AJ have put British boxing on the map where it’s not been for decades, not since Lennox Lewis 25 years ago.

So thank you, but rather than being at his leaving party, which I’m sure The Sun would be invited to, I suspect we’ll see him boxing AJ in Riyadh in a few months. 

“We say to Fury, ‘Just to let you know, you don’t wanna fight AJ, in the summer, August, September, because if you want to come out of retirement, now is the time to do it’.

“The only things I know are AJ wants to fight Fury and he wants to fight for the world heavyweight title, that’s it.”

Hearn additionally told Sky Sports: “We will ask the question.

“Frank Warren was saying, ‘Well, he’s retired’.

“I know but it’s still my job to say we are going to make our decision, just double-checking there’s no chance he’s going to fight.”

Fans can’t believe who Ed Sheeran sat next to at Ipswich vs Tottenham as they say ‘not on my 2025 bingo card’

ED SHEERAN attended Ipswich Town’s Premier League clash against Tottenham with a surprise celebrity super fan.

The pop star was spotted in the stands for Saturday’s Prem match, and was joined by one of the most famous British actors.

And that was none other than Rupert Grint, 36, who is also a big Tottenham fan.

Football enthusiasts couldn’t believe what they were seeing as they stormed social media.

One fan tweeted: “Rupert Grint & Ed Sheeran reunion was not on my 2025 bingo card.”

Another commented: “This is so funny bcs Rupert Grint and Ed Sheeran are basically twins and they attend the same game yet support different teams lol.”

A third wrote: “Lol Rupert Grint and Ed Sheeran sat next to each other at the Spurs-Ipswich game.”

This fan said: “That’s great!”

And that one exclaimed: “Unbelievable!”

Sheeran and Grint, 36, watched an entertaining encounter that saw the Harry Potter star leaving with bragging rights.

Tottenham led 2-0 in the first half thanks to Brennan Johnson’s double within eight minutes.

Ipswich hit back with Omari Hutchinson just 10 minutes later in front of a packed crowd.

But Ange Postecoglou’s side scored a third with Djed Spence on 77 minutes to put some distance between them and the hosts.

And Dejan Kulusevski completed Tottenham’s 4-1 triumph just six minutes before full-time.

Experts issue urgent warning to complete essential outdoor job now or you could be putting your home at risk

SPRING is almost here so it’s time to get ahead of your outdoor chores now.

Experts have warned homeowners of the essential job that should be completed now to protect your property.

While spring means nicer weather and longer evenings, but it also means spring cleaning.

After a harsh winter, you likely have an unnoticed issue which poses a risk to your home.

The experts at Money Super Market have issued an urgent warning to homeowners to clear out their gutters, reports the Mirror.

With stormy winter weather hopefully drawing to a close, this is the ideal time to remove any debris which may have ended up in your gutters.

And according to the professionals, avoiding this task may have expensive consequences.

This is because failing to keep on top of gutter maintenance can actually void your insurance policy.

Blocked gutters can cause a variety of serious problems to your property.

Designed to direct rainwater away from your home, any clogs in your gutters can cause it to seep into your walls instead.

This can cause dampness and mould to infiltrate your ceilings and walls.

As well as making your home smell bad and causing potential health issues, waterlogging may also damage your home’s foundation.

“A blocked gutter might seem like one of those tasks that can be done later, but not tackling this small job can lead to big problems if left for too long,” said home insurance expert Alicia Hempsted. 

“Your insurer expects you to carry out regular maintenance on your property to make sure everything’s in working order.

“The UK has been experiencing more windy and stormy weather than usual this year, which could mean your gutters have become clogged with leaves or other debris.”

She broke down the potential effect this can have on your home insurance policy.

“And if you ignore overflowing gutters, there’s a chance any home insurance claims for damp could be denied meaning you’d have to pay for any repairs out of your own pocket,” Alicia explained.

Top 5 Spring Gardening Jobs

Nick Grey, Gtech Inventor and CEO shared the tasks to crack on with as Spring arrives.

1. Clean your garden

Make sure to clear away all leaves, soil and plant debris from your patios and flower beds; this creates a healthier environment for new growth, especially as we get into the summer months. Gtech’s Garden Safety Kit includes durable gardening gloves and safety glasses; perfect for comfortability whilst tackling those outdoor tasks.

2. Weeding

Early Spring is the best time to tackle weeds; if you can introduce some regular weeding into your routine, you can guarantee a tidy garden all year round. 

3. Hedge maintenance

Spring is the ideal time to tidy up overgrown hedges and shrubs, as regular trimming ensures healthy growth and reduces pest issues. Using a tool like the Gtech Lightweight Hedge Trimmer can help to keep your greenery looking sharp and neat.  

4. Composting

Starting a compost heap this spring is a pro-active, cost-effective way to harness nutritious soil for your plants and recycle organic waste that will benefit the overall health of your greenery and foliage.  

5. Look after your lawn

Lawn care is hugely important in assuring your garden stays looking beautiful. Make sure to rake away any excess leaves and trim your grass routinely.

“Check your gutters for blockages and damage twice a year and after extreme weather to ensure your insurance remains valid.”

Money Super Market recommend clearing out your gutters at least twice every year.

You should completely remove any leaves, moss, twigs, or other debris to ensure water can flow freely.

And if you can’t reach your own gutters easily, hire a professional to help.

Installing gutter guards can help to prevent blockages and reduce maintenance.

Watch moment Love Island’s Matilda Draper makes Towie debut with boyfriend Roman Hackett after Sean Stone swipe

LOVE Island’s Matilda Draper has made her The Only Way Is Essex debut with her new boyfriend Roman Hackett.

The pair’s debut on the ITVBe reality show will come shortly after her swipe at ex Sean Stone.

Matilda, 24, recently took a savage swipe at ex-boyfriend Sean as she opened up about their split.

The former Love Island couple split just weeks after leaving the villa last year.

Matilda has since moved on with TOWIE star Roman Hackett – and this weekend they will star on the hit reality series together for the very first time.

In a clip from Matilda’s first scene in TOWIE, she can be seen sitting in a glam eatery with her man as they enjoyed brunch before some co-stars walked in and greeted them.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun ahead of their TV debut together, the couple have spilled on their love for one another.

In the chat, Roman revealed: “We have filmed our first scene together.

“We were speaking about being in Essex and how much we are in love and Dani came in.”

Speaking about how he has toned down his party boy persona, Roman noted how he feels “really settled”.

“I feel really settled,” he swooned, adding: “Before I met Matilda, I didn’t want a relationship at all.

“That was the last thought in my head… if I met someone I met someone but this is someone who really matches me so straight away, so you know.”

Matilda then chimed in to make a revelation: “It was our one-month anniversary the other day.”

Roman added: “We are counting the months! It has been about two to three months now…”

Gushing over how comfortable they feel around each other, Roman said: “I think when you know, you know.

“When you just feel the love…and you know that it is real.

TOWIE STARS SPIN OFF

WITH the announcement TOWIE will return in 2025 for two new series, it's good news for some former ITVBE stars, too

TWO of the show’s best loved former stars will celebrate their own big life moments with a spin off series featuring Tommy Mallet and Georgia Kousoulou.

Their new show title is currently unconfirmed.

The pair, who first met and found love on TOWIE back in 2014, finally say ‘I Do’ in a three part special produced by Objective Entertainment.

The show will follow on from the success of their Baby Steps series.

“The time thing don’t really matter to me. When you are in love, you are in love.

“We are really happy.”

This comes after Matilda opened up about her split from her ex Sean – suggesting she only saw the ‘real’ him after they left the show.

She told Closer: “I broke up with Sean a month after we left the villa. Before that my ex was two years ago.

“When you come out [of the villa] is when you know who people are in real life rather than in this bubble. You know if it is going to work or not.”

The Only Way Is Essex starts on Sunday 23rd February at 9pm on ITVBe & ITVX.

Your old Nintendo could be worth £2,200 depending on the color as list reveals gaming consoles fetching over a grand

OLD Nintendo 64 consoles can fetch thousands of pounds – and you might have the right model at home.

So if you’re hanging on to any of the iconic ’90s gaming machines, it might be time to dust them off.

pricecharting.com
The Smoke Black Nintendo 64 is a prized collectible for gamers[/caption]

One special model could net you more than £2,200 if you’ve got it tucked away somewhere.

The Nintendo 64 is one of the best-loved consoles of all time.

It came out in Japan in June 1996, following by a March 1997 release for Europe – with Nintendo ultimately selling more than 32 million of them.

But one specific colour option – Smoke Black – is particularly favoured by fans who are willing to pay big money for a unit.

The regular console was a solid grey, but the Smoke Black version had a translucent design.

And according to video game collectibles tracker PriceCharting, a sealed Smoke Black N64 console is worth £2,203.21.

What’s more, if you’ve had it professionally graded, the value rises to a whopping £2,423.53.

Chances are that you’ve probably opened your Nintendo 64, but don’t panic: an unsealed unit is still worth a fair bit of cash.

The site estimates that a complete-in-box Smoke Black N64 is worth £816.03.

If you’ve got the console on its own without a box, it could fetch £285.44.

The box, bizarrely, is worth even more at an estimated £326.42.

And the manual is listed with an approximate value of £204.01.

Of course, these prices are estimates based on previous online sales of the console.

So if you do decide to sell your unit, you could end up getting less than these values.

It’s also possible that the right collector might pay even more than these sums.

And bear in mind that the value of your old console might go up over time, so think carefully before flogging your retro gaming machine.

The good news is that a Smoke Black Nintendo 64 isn’t your only chance at riches.

WIN-TENDO!

Other Nintendo 64 consoles can also fetch a tidy sum.

There were loads of different Nintendo 64 versions – and they’re worth some serious cash now[/caption]

For instance, the sealed Nintendo 64 Ice Blue console is estimated to be worth a healthy £1,578 – or £119 opened up.

The Jungle Green Nintendo 64 could net you £1,386 sealed, or £513 in an open box.

Nintendo’s Pikachu version of the console has a valuation of £1,380 if it’s brand new, or £455 “complete in box”.

Then there’s the Fire Orange Nintendo 64, with a new value of £911. Unsealed, it’ll drop to £337.

Kanye West to drop $100 million on two private jets featuring $40k Italian leather seats and Yeezy-inspired interiors

KANYE West is looking to boost his finances by spending $100 million on two private jets outfitted with luxury features, which he plans to rent out to wealthy clients.

The controversial rapper, who claims to still be a billionaire despite losing numerous endorsement deals following offensive outbursts, aims to capitalize on what remains of his fame.

Two well-placed sources have told The U.S. Sun Kanye wants to buy two private jets and remodel them to help entice wealthy clients to use them all over the globe[/caption]

MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR PLAN

Two well-placed insiders told The U.S. Sun that Kanye’s team approached them six months ago with this extravagant money-making idea.

One source, a consultant in the private aviation industry, revealed that Kanye plans to rent the jets to affluent clients, including CEOs and celebrities, who can afford the premium ticket prices, which have yet to be finalized.

The two jets reportedly being considered are a $38 million Gulfstream G650ER and a $40 million Dassault Falcon 900LX.

Kanye is expected to spend at least an additional $20 million on major upgrades to the interiors, including $40,000 Italian leather seats, a fully stocked bar, and other luxury amenities.

According to a consultant in the luxury design industry, there are also plans to include Yeezy-branded furniture on board, creating an immersive “Ye experience” for travelers.

Even after ending partnerships with major brands, Kanye has continued to earn considerable sums from his music, including millions through “listening parties,” while his Yeezy clothing line continues to thrive.

However, with past debts reaching up to $53 million, combined with growing expenses for abandoned mansion renovations, outstanding taxes, and ongoing legal disputes, doubts about Kanye’s financial stability persist.

“The goal is to make money,” confirmed the first insider. “He wants to add this business to his personal portfolio and investments.”

DESPERATE MEASURES

The luxury design consultant added that Kanye’s team is requesting interior designs inspired by the Yeezy brand, including custom furniture engraved with his “Y” logo.

Gold-accented features and Kanye’s signature black-and-light-cream color scheme are also part of the plan.

The jets would feature extra-large seats, a full bar staffed by a waiter serving cocktails, and fine Italian wines.

“Kanye wants the planes to reflect his style and be filled with luxurious items that showcase his impact on the creative and fashion industries,” the consultant said.

In 2022, Kanye’s business ventures appeared to collapse when Adidas severed ties with Yeezy.

However, he continued earning royalties from his earlier hit albums and maintained a valuable property portfolio, including high-end homes and ranches.

He still holds a five percent stake in Skims, the shapewear brand he co-founded with ex-wife Kim Kardashian, which is now valued at $4 billion.

Determined to regain billionaire status, Kanye enlisted disgraced American Apparel founder Dov Charney in 2023 to help revive Yeezy.

He purchased a $6.7 million property in West Hollywood, intending to use it as the company’s headquarters.

While staff briefly worked there on sewing machines, operations were later halted, and the roof was removed. Over a year later, the property remains empty and roofless.

The U.S. Sun also reported on Kanye’s failed attempts to stage live performances at iconic landmarks such as the Great Wall of China and the Taj Mahal.

After his anti-Semitic online rants last year, no event organizers were willing to host his shows, despite his repeated efforts.

Kanye’s team did not respond to requests for comment from The U.S. Sun.

Kanye is a ticking time bomb - I've never known him to be this self-destructive: Opinion

The U.S. Sun’s Assistant Editor (Exclusives) Katy Forrester writes about Kanye’s recent scandal after he leaned into anti-Semitic rants and staged an embarrassing Grammy’s stunt:

KANYE’S public meltdowns are nothing new, and many die-hard fans have stuck by him amid his mental health battles, while others have tried to separate the art from the artist.

But in my years covering Ye, I have never known him to be this self-destructive, blowing up what was left of his empire after spending two years building back his reputation. Even fan sites are now logging off after supporting him for years.

Unfortunately, I can’t say his recent meltdown surprises me. His life behind the scenes has been chaotic since his split from Kim Kardashian. He is a ticking time bomb.

Ye previously expressed his frustration at Kim for dressing provocatively. He focused on religion and wanted to relocate to Wyoming full-time.

But his life now couldn’t be any different. He’s often seen parading his wife Bianca Censori around almost naked, and his former assistant claimed he turned his Yeezy office into a “sexual playground” where orgies were the norm, which he denied.

During his hateful rants on X, he posted several adult videos and I fear his porn addiction is out of control.

When he recently revealed on a friend’s podcast that he had come off meds for bipolar and instead believed he was autistic, it was clear things may go south.

He has suffered from manic episodes for years, and I believe he should be medicated, have a regular therapist, and stay clear of drugs and alcohol.

Now his marriage to Bianca Censori is in trouble, and although the lifestyle may be fun, I doubt being around him at the moment is.

Many in his inner circle are enablers, except for a few who have tried to save him from himself and sadly failed.

A public pile-on could only backfire in these circumstances, although I stand by the Jewish community and think his comments have been unforgivable.

Kanye needs to step back from public life, he needs to get help, and he needs to get to the root of his issues once and for all.

He is a 47-year-old man who has already ruined his legacy and needs to be responsible for his own actions, not only for his sake, and for the sake of his children.
