    Tyson Fury set for surprise career change ahead of Oleksandr Usyk rematch

    As Tyson Fury gears up to rematch Oleksandr Usyk, his first racehorse is preparing to make her debut this week.

    The former heavyweight world champion’s two-year-old filly, Big Gypsy King, runs at Newmarket on Friday afternoon in the 5.45 race.

    And Fury will be hoping she can score a knockout blow as he watches on from the stands.

    The young maiden is trained by Darryll Holland, who has high hopes for the Gold Star Promotions horse.

    “Big Gypsy King is a very nice filly and has a big build — just like her owner!” he told The Sun.

    “Traditionally, horses have been a big part of Tyson’s family.

    “It’s brilliant for the sport to have a global superstar like him involved.

    “I was introduced to Tyson’s manager Spencer Brown, and things just went from there.

    “I’m really pleased Tyson is now part of the team at Harraton Court Stables…

    “Tyson hasn’t been down to the yard, but I’ve been sending his team video updates and I’ve said hello to him when he has been in the car with Spencer.

    “They are very busy people, but they wanted to come and see the horse run and, thankfully, it has worked out as Tyson will soon be getting ready for his rematch with Usyk in Saudi Arabia.

    Fury's Big Gypsy King will be in action at 5.45pm

    “Hopefully if Big Gypsy King does well Tyson might get a few more.”

    Fury is set to rematch Usyk on December 21 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the WBC, WBO and WBA belts after dropping a split decision to the Ukrainian in May.

    Their inaugural encounter was all four major sanctioning body belts, however, Usyk has vacated the IBF strap after filing an exception to the organisation to keep hold of their version of the world title for his rematch with Fury.

    The IBF wanted Usyk to face Daniel Dubois but the 37-year-old wasn’t able to accept their call due to the rematch clause in his contract with Fury.

    Carl Froch claims Tyson Fury will retire from boxing if he loses his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk

    As a result, Dubois has been upgraded to IBF world champion and will defend his title against Anthony Joshua on September 21 at Wembley Stadium.

    Whoever emerges victorious from that fight is the favourite to face the winner of Usyk vs Fury next.
