British heavyweight boxing champion, Tyson Fury, has revealed that he no longer supports Manchester United or any football club. The 36-year-old boxer, known for his outspoken views, made the statement during a recent interview at Cartmel Racecourse in England.
Fury, who once regularly attended matches at Old Trafford and was considered a passionate fan of the Red Devils, told Racing TV that he has lost interest in football entirely.
“I’m not a supporter of football really,” Fury said. “I used to support United, but because they’re in the s*** now, I’m no supporter of any football teams anymore.”
He added that he also no longer supports the English national team, marking a complete departure from the sport that he once followed closely.
Fury’s frustration appears to be linked to Manchester United’s continued struggles on the pitch. The club, once the dominant force in English football under Sir Alex Ferguson, has fallen far behind its rivals in recent years.
Last season, United finished in a disappointing 15th position in the English Premier League (EPL), a far cry from their former glory. The team is no longer seen as a serious contender for the title and has faced heavy criticism from fans and pundits alike.
So far this season, things have not improved. United are yet to win a game, having lost 1-0 at home to Arsenal and drawn 1-1 away at Fulham. The lack of results, combined with poor performances, has added to the growing frustration among fans — and clearly among former supporters like Fury.
Tyson Fury has often shown public support for Manchester United in the past. He was frequently seen at Old Trafford watching games and has spoken about his love for the club in interviews. His decision to walk away from football altogether marks a significant shift in his personal interests.
The two-time world heavyweight champion has also made headlines for his views on other sports, politics, and social issues, often using his platform to speak freely and sometimes controversially.
This latest statement is consistent with Fury’s personality — blunt, bold, and unfiltered.
Fury’s remarks have sparked mixed reactions among fans, especially on social media. While some agreed with his disappointment over Manchester United’s poor form, others criticised him for abandoning the club during hard times.
One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “Tyson Fury says he no longer supports United. Maybe he was never a true fan to begin with.” Another commented, “I feel his pain. Watching United these days is like torture.”
Others defended him, saying that his views reflect the feelings of many frustrated supporters.
“I’ve been a United fan since childhood, but even I find it hard to watch them now. Can’t blame Tyson,” another fan posted.
Manchester United has been in a long-term rebuild since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013. The club has had several managers in the last decade, including David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, José Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjær, and most recently Erik ten Hag.
Despite big spending on players, the club has failed to return to the top of English football. While they’ve won domestic trophies like the FA Cup and Carabao Cup in recent years, they have been far behind teams like Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal in terms of consistency and title contention.
With no wins so far in the current season, fans are once again questioning the direction of the team, the players’ performances, and the club’s management.
As Fury distances himself from football, he remains focused on his boxing career. After a controversial split decision draw against Oleksandr Usyk in May 2025, many fans are anticipating a possible rematch later this year or in early 2026.
Fury, who remains one of the most popular and entertaining figures in boxing, is expected to make an official announcement soon regarding his next fight. Whether or not he faces Usyk again, fans can be sure of one thing — his attention will now be fully on boxing, not football.
While Tyson Fury may be done with football, his comments reflect the growing frustration among Manchester United supporters around the world. As the club struggles to find its form, it’s not just casual fans walking away — even celebrities and former loyal supporters are losing patience.
Whether United can turn things around this season remains to be seen, but for now, they’ve lost one of their most famous fans.
