Tyson Fury has said an exhibition fight on the Isle of Man next year is a ‘real possibility’ - but admitted it would likely need to be a charity event rather than a professional bout.

The former heavyweight world champion was speaking exclusively to Isle of Man Today after enjoying a ride on the Douglas Bay Horse Tramway with his family as filming continues for the third series of Netflix show At Home With The Furys.

Tyson, along with his wife Paris, father John, brother Tommy and their children, were seen on Douglas Promenade on Wednesday lunchtime as the family continue filming for the new series.

Netflix officially commissioned a third season ahead of the premiere of season two, which was released in April.

Speaking after the horse tram ride, Tyson praised the Isle of Man and said he enjoyed the island’s relaxed atmosphere.

Asked what he thought of his new home, the 37-year-old said: ‘It’s a good place, nice and safe, good people, home away from home.

‘Come here, you can spend your own money, speak your own lingo, speak to your own sort of people. Happy days.’

The Gypsy King was also asked about previous suggestions that he could stage a fight on the island.

While he ruled out a major professional contest taking place here, he said an exhibition bout could happen in the future.

‘A fight here would be non-profitable, so it’d have to be a charity event like we did in Thailand,’ he said.

‘But it would be definitely good for the country, as it was good for Thailand. It’d be brilliant for the Isle of Man.

‘It won’t be something I’d do right now because no indoor arenas here [are] big enough. I’ve got a fight to come up with Joshua in November, so it won’t be something now, but it could be something I can accomplish next year.’

Fury returned to the ring last month with a seven-round victory over Mariusz Wach in Pattaya, Thailand, in what was described as a low-key comeback fight.

That win has set up the prospect of a long-awaited showdown with fellow British heavyweight Anthony Joshua in November.

Joshua recently defeated Hristian Prenga, despite being knocked down twice in the opening round, before recovering to win by second-round stoppage.

Fury, who has enjoyed one of the most successful heavyweight careers of the modern era, has previously indicated that 2026 could be his final year in boxing – although he has announced his retirement several times before.

Any potential exhibition bout on the island would likely depend on suitable facilities being available, with Fury acknowledging the current limitations of venues.

But his comments will fuel speculation that the Gypsy King could bring another major sporting event to his adopted home.
