TYSON FURY has jetted for an Italian getaway with wife Paris – and treated himself to a Serie A title decider.
The former heavyweight champion of the world took a private jet to Como on Friday morning.
Fury, who announced his retirement from boxing in January, treated his wife of 16 years to a lavish day in the Italian sun.
The pair enjoyed a romantic meal with views of Lake Como before hitting the open water on a boat.
Tyson – a Manchester United fan – was clearly hoping to banish the memory of Wednesday’s Europa League defeat to Spurs.
He later whisked Paris for an evening at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, where Como welcomed Inter Milan.

Inter and Napoli were vying for the Serie A title going into the final match of the season.
Milan needed to beat Como and hope Napoli – who had drawn their last two games – failed to get the best of Cagliari at home.
The Fury’s saw two Inter goals – through Stefan de Vrij and Joaquin Correa – as the Champions League finalists did their part 2-0 in the Lakes.
But it was a night of disappointment as ex-United star Scott McTominay sent Napoli on their way to the title with an acrobatic volley as they also won 2-0 to claim the Serie A title.

It won’t have dampened Tyson and Paris’ mood though, with the pair celebrating after their Netflix reality show was renewed for series two.
At Home With The Furys follows the Gypsy King, his father John, Paris and the couple’s seven children.
Fury stepped away from the ring in January after a bruising loss to Oleksandr Usyk.
The Wythenshawe warrior performed an unsurprising U-turn late last month in an expletive-filled rant at his two-time conqueror.
And the 36-year-old has been putting in some hard work in the gym since returning from a luxury holiday in the Bahamas.
Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn recently declared the long-awaited showdown between Fury and Anthony Joshua was still possible.
AJ is currently suffering from a serious elbow injury but is hoping to be fight-ready by the end of the year.
View of The Sun’s boxing expert: ‘I think it’s a ploy’
By Wally Downes Jr
CALL ME a miserable fat little boxing cynic, but Tyson Fury’s latest retirement just doesn’t wash with me.
It wasn’t too long ago we were hearing he had a ten-fight deal with Saudi Arabia, that he was gonna fight Anthony Joshua twice, then he was going to face Joseph Parker twice.
He was planning on doing every fight in the world – there was even talk he’d rematch Francis Ngannou and do a better job.
IF he has retired, then he goes out with an incredible career having made over £300million in boxing events alone, let alone all the extra stuff.
He does so having sacrificed bundles of his own life for such success.
We know his wife Paris suffered a miscarriage going into the first Olesandr Usyk fight.
We know for Deontay Wilder III, his little girl was put in intensive care, he barely even trained for that fight, he was sleeping on the hospital floor.
IF he has retired, IF it is genuine, then it’s been an incredible career.
And for the big showman, it’s probably a nice little short sharp way to go out by just posting a video while sat inside his car.
But I can’t help but think that it’s a bit of a ploy to drive AJ a little bit crazy.
AJ was at the Ring Awards the other day and put out a social media post saying “Fury, where are you? I’m looking for you.”
It’s the only fight that AJ wants, and Fury being wise and looking at the Floyd Mayweather playbook, knows that once you retire, you have to be coaxed out of retirement.
And how do you coax someone out of retirement? Loads more readies.
The fact of the matter is, Fury has always told us: I’m a prize fighter, I do it for money, I’m gonna do it for as long as I can and make as much money as I can.
So the idea that he suddenly ducks out now doesn’t seem to ring quite true.
As Fury made the announcement, I was with Frank Warren and he said hadn’t spoken to Tyson about it today, but that he hopes that it’s true, that Fury’s done enough and made enough money.
IF it’s true, then what an incredible career.
Fury and AJ have put British boxing on the map where it’s not been for decades, not since Lennox Lewis 25 years ago.
So thank you, but rather than being at his leaving party, which I’m sure The Sun would be invited to, I suspect we’ll see him boxing AJ in Riyadh in a few months.
Hearn said: “Look, AJ’s got to have a little keyhole surgery on his elbow.
“He’ll be back post-September. It’s there, isn’t it?

“Let’s just make it happen. I just feel like it’s time. This is the moment.
“We’re reliant upon Tyson Fury.”
