Boxing star Tyson Fury decided to have a little fun with his fans on April Fool's Day. The Briton posted a photoshopped image on his Instagram page, showing him as Agent 007.
In the photo, Fury appears as James Bond, dressed in a sharp suit with a shirt and bow tie, and holding a gun. In the post, he tagged the official Instagram account of the 007 film and captioned the image with the words
“Shaken, Not Stirred. The Gypsy King is back and I have a license to thrill. Many years in the making and many notable agents and performances before me - BOND. TYSON BOND.”
In the comments, some fans even believed it and started writing that they wanted to see such a film with Fury in the lead role. However, some pointed out that it's an April Fool's post, so it's definitely not true.
Recall that Tyson Fury announced his retirement from sports after losing a rematch to Oleksandr Usyk in December 2024. Now, the former boxer is enjoying his time off and spending a lot of time with his wife and children. For Paris, Tyson even became a personal trainer and regularly works out with her in the gym.
