Tyson Fury Abandons Manchester United, Football Support

Tyson Fury, the British heavyweight boxing champion, has publicly announced that he no longer supports Manchester United or the England football team, citing their ongoing poor performances and his waning interest in the sport. Fury, who once was a vocal Manchester United supporter, criticized the club's struggles, with the team currently positioned near the bottom of the Premier League and enduring a difficult 2024/25 season. His disillusionment with football also stems from England's defeat to Iceland in the 2016 Euros, which he described as a turning point after which he lost interest entirely. Instead, Fury has turned his attention to horse racing, actively engaging in the sport by owning and supporting several thoroughbreds, including Big Gypsy King, which he watched compete at Cartmel Racecourse. This shift in passion reflects a broader frustration among fans with Manchester United's decline and highlights Fury's personal move away from football to horse racing as his main sporting interest. Additionally, he has distanced himself even from the local National League club near his home, emphasizing his complete withdrawal from football fandom.
