    Tyson Fury whisks wife Paris away on private jet and head straight to Como vs Inter Serie A title decider

    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. Tyson Fury was in attendance as Como took on Inter Milan on Friday nightCredit: AlamyThe Gypsy King flew in to watch the game with wife ParisCredit: GettyThe pair took a private jet to Lake Como, where he’d hired out some digsCredit: Instagram / tysonfuryThe pair enjoyed a romantic trip out onto the lakeCredit: Instagram / tysonfuryThey shared a drink in the sun before heading to the Serie A title deciderCredit: Instagram / tysonfuryFury, 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. READ MORE ON FOOTBALLInter 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.Most read in FootballBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UKIt 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. Eddie Hearn teases Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury in 2025?! + Allen KOs Fisher | Split Decision | Sun SportTyson and Paris enjoyed a night out at the footballCredit: GettyFury 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 JrCALL 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? Read More on The Sun”Let’s just make it happen. I just feel like it’s time. This is the moment. “We’re reliant upon Tyson Fury.” More

    Premier League will see more rule changes next season – when will this ever end? I have NO idea what football rules are

    CLAUDIO RANIERI earned the nickname ‘Tinkerman’ during his spell at Chelsea as he was forever changing his player line-ups but that meddling moniker should surely now be passed on to football’s governing bodies.Next season there will be more new rule changes. When will this ever end and are you, like me, ­baffled and bamboozled in equal measure as to what the actual rules of football are?Referees will punish goalkeepers for time-wasting with a corner for the opposition next seasonCredit: GettySunSport columnist Karren Brady thinks if it aint broke, don’t fix itCredit: GettyFrom next season goalkeepers will be penalised for holding on to the ball for more than eight ­seconds, with the punishment a corner to the attacking team.Referees are supposed to indicate when a keeper has held the ball for three seconds, giving him five more seconds to release it. Apparently, this new rule has been tried and tested and will be in place for next season.So what was wrong with the old rule which gave keepers six seconds to release, with punishment in the form of an indirect free-kick? Beats me. It was hardly ever enforced anyway.The body which has come up with this latest daft tinkering, I meant well-researched brainstorm, the International Football Association Board, must have spent ages on it. Probably in a well-stocked five-star hotel somewhere near Fifa’s Swiss Alps headquarters.Read more football newsThe purpose of this newest change is to cut down on time-wasting but how can extending possession from six to eight seconds do that?And also the fact that the ‘old’ rule was almost never imposed surely means it was a good rule.A bit like competent refereeing, if you don’t know they are there, chances are the official is doing a decent job.Every year we are told greedy water companies will clean up their act and every season football makes changes which confuses the hell out of fans. Dirtying the waters, so to speak.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSWe have had ‘golden’ goals, ­‘silver’ goals, the advance ten-metre rule, you name it. If anyone can ­successfully tell me what the current rules around handball are, please let me know.As for VAR, well let’s just say the jury is still out on that one.We have been told the introduction of Semi-Automated Offside Technology will solve the ridiculous amount of time it has taken Stockley Park assessors to actually reach a decision.’In one year the decision will be made’ – Wenger demands new offside rule that will be ‘impossible to defend against’Well, that wasn’t true last weekend at the West Ham v Forest game, as that quick check we were promised turned into an excruciating six-minute delay as the offside technology was not working.And don’t get me started on the financial fair play rules.Professor Brian Cox might be able to name all the stars in the sky but even he would struggle with that.I’m the first to admit that some changes have been of great benefit. In 1992, the introduction of the backpass rule where keepers cannot handle the ball when it has been deliberately kicked to them by a team-mate is one.When will this ever end and are you, like me, ­baffled and bamboozled in equal measure as to what the actual rules of football are?Karren BradyGoal-line technology came in 2012 following the uproar over the Frank Lampard World Cup ‘goal-that-never-was’. That was another. But in recent seasons the dribble of rule changes has become a downpour.From allowing the kick-off to be taken in any direction, to teams now requiring a mandatory captain, complete with armband, to additional subs if a player has received a concussion injury.Have any of these actually improved fans’ enjoyment?Just leave the game alone please. The International Football Association Board should adhere to the wise man, more likely wise woman, who said, if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it. Or to put it another way, stop bloody tinkering.I’m just waiting for the first referee next season who awards a corner after a keeper has transgressed this newest rule change.Read More on The SunCue hundreds of examples by irate fans where the ‘offence’ was not spotted.Football. They say it used to be a simple game which involved two jumpers and a ball. Not any longer. More

He’s the first (South Korean) captain of the Premier League. We’re so proud of him.”The music was pumping, from football classics like Sweet Caroline to the new fans’ favourite ‘We won it in Bilbao’ to the tune of Shakira’s 2010 World Cup song Waka Waka (This time for Africa).The players, clad in shirts with champions and 25 inscribed on the back and sporting, rather bizarrely, ski goggles, then turned up and the bus got going, flanked by a sea of blue-and-white waving flags and flare smoke.Richarlison was bouncing up and down at the front, Bissouma had his shirt off, Cristian Romero, the Europa League player of the season, was on the beer.A croaky-sounding Son, who won his first trophy in his tenth year at the club, said: “The last two days have gone so fast.
