      Afterwards, Fury spent the night and following day partying non-stop with his family and friends to celebrate the heavyweight thriller.
      He’s now back home with his entourage, landing at Heathrow T3 from a flight believed to have been from Atlanta.
      Fury touched down around 11am, and was pictured by SunSport queuing up at passport control while yawning with the affects of the gruelling 11 rounds – plus the partying – there to see.
      Ever the people’s champ, the father-of-six lined up like everyone else, proving he needs no special treatment.
      Fury three times floored Wilder, twice picking himself up from the canvas too, before scoring a stunning knockout with just a round to go.
      He enjoyed the win in style, partying with brother Tommy and wife Paris, while dancing on stage with DJ Steve Aoki.

      But after the dust settled, it was time to come home for Fury, who enjoys the local life in Lancashire.
      Paris posted a picture with the heavyweight icon on what appeared to be a lunch date, as they prepared to return home to their adoring children.
      She wrote on Instagram: “What a night . . . what a fight! The last 48 hours have been epic and I’m still on cloud nine.
      “It meant everything to be there with Tyson, he’s worked so hard for this and he brought it home like the great champion he is!
      “It won’t be long till We’re back to reality and the school run but for now this is definitely one of the highs of being a boxer’s wife.
      “And not long till Love and Fury (Paris’s book on life with Tyson) is out too.”

      ‘Tyson Fury beats Anthony Joshua in EVERY department’ – Warren opens door to superfight.. but there’d only be one winner

      by

      TYSON FURY beats Anthony Joshua ‘in every department’ according to the Gypsy King’s promoter Frank Warren.The prospect of the two ever fighting took a major hit a few weeks back when Joshua was easily outpointed by Oleksandr Usyk.

      That saw the Watford brawler lose his WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight belts to the Ukrainian.
      Then at the weekend, Fury sensationally KO’d Deontay Wilder in their trilogy scrap to successfully defend his WBC strap.
      The two Brits seem at very different points in their career, but Warren has refused to rule out the two fighting.
      However, he does not think it would end very well for AJ.
      Speaking to talkSPORT, the 69-year-old said: “Tyson always felt, and I think anybody who watched the fight against Wilder would agree, that he had AJ’s number.
      “For me, he beats him in every department. He’s got a great chin, a bigger heart, he punches as hard as AJ – I don’t care what anyone says, look at those knockdowns against Wilder.

      “And, by the way, would AJ beat Wilder? I don’t think he would have done, on that performance I saw.
      “But does he [Fury] want the fight still? If it’s there and if it was to happen, that’s a choice he’ll make.
      “I still think it would be a massive draw, everybody has got an opinion about what would happen in that fight, but for me there’s only one winner there.”
      If AJ was to step aside and let us get the Usyk fight on, maybe he could fight the winnerFrank WarrenOn Tyson Fury’s next fight
      Joshua will attempt a revenge mission after instructing his promoter Eddie Hearn to thrash out terms for the Usyk rematch.
      The 31-year-old was easily outboxed by the former cruiserweight king in front of 65,000 fans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on September 25.
      But Warren has urged AJ to consider stepping aside to let Fury go toe-to-toe with Usyk for all the belts.
      He added: “If AJ was to step aside and let us get the Usyk fight on, maybe he could fight the winner?
      “Usyk has got a rematch clause with AJ, that’s no secret. If AJ wants to step aside then I’m sure we can easily make that fight, but will he step aside? I doubt it! Maybe he will, I don’t know.”

      Tyson Fury’s promoter tells Anthony Joshua to ‘step aside’ so Gypsy King can take on Oleksandr Usyk for undisputed title

      by

      PROMOTER Frank Warren wants Anthony Joshua to ditch his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk so Tyson Fury can fight the Ukrainian in an undisputed blockbuster.Warren was beaming in Las Vegas at the weekend after watching his man deliver a sensational 11th-round KO of Deontay Wilder in their trilogy fight.

      That successful WBC title defence has cemented Fury as one of the greatest heavyweights ever.
      Joshua, meanwhile, will attempt a revenge mission after instructing his promoter Eddie Hearn to thrash out terms for the Usyk rematch.
      Joshua was easily outboxed by the former cruiserweight king in front of 65,000 fans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on September 25.
      But Warren has urged AJ to consider stepping aside to let Fury go toe-to-toe with Usyk for all the belts.

      “Usyk has got a rematch clause with AJ, that’s no secret. If AJ wants to step aside then I’m sure we can easily make that fight, but will he step aside? I doubt it! Maybe he will, I don’t know.

      “From our perspective, we would love to do that fight, but if we can’t and Tyson wants to keep boxing, he’ll have to defend his title, if he doesn’t want to keep boxing, so be it.”
      Fellow Brit Dillian Whyte could even FINALLY get his world title shot – he is the mandatory for Fury’s WBC belt.
      But for now, Fury is going to look forward to having a bit of a ‘normal life’ outside the boxing ring.
      The Gypsy King says he will be back ‘taking the bins out’ and wants to enjoy a month off training after his stunning trilogy win against Wilder.
      Speaking to The Telegraph, the 33-year-old undefeated fighter said: “I’ll go straight back to my grass roots.
      “Doing the bins, taking the kids to school, doing bits around the house. Normal stuff.
      “I’m going to take a month off training and just enjoy myself.”

      Deontay Wilder wants Anthony Joshua bout next year with May 2022 return eyed and refuses to retire after Tyson Fury loss

      by

      DEONTAY WILDER will NOT retire after his gruelling loss to Tyson Fury – with the motivation to return by May 2022.The likes of Anthony Joshua are among the targets next year “no matter” the result of AJ’s rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.

      Wilder has no plans to call it quits on his career as his co-manager Shelly Finkel revealed what will motivate him ahead of a comeback.
      Finkel told SunSport: “My gut says the big fights. It’s not on the drawing board now, but he would love to get Fury back again. 
      “But again, it’s early and we have to get through Usyk and Joshua and see a couple of other possibilities.
      “It’s a massive fight [Wilder vs Joshua], no matter what happens in the Joshua – Usyk fight. 
      “And I’m not sure that Usyk, even with his great skills, will be able to deal with the size of Fury.”

      Wilder, 35, was brutally knocked out by Fury, 33, in round 11 of their trilogy bout – but only after twice flooring his British rival in one of the best heavyweight fights ever.
      But it was there that the American, who carried 41 knockouts into the fight, broke one of the most lethal right hands in boxing history.

      JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET A FREE £10 BONUS WITH 100s OF GAMES TO PLAY AND NO DEPOSIT REQUIRED (Ts&Cs apply)
      As a result, he will go under the knife next week after returning home to Alabama following the Las Vegas epic.
      Finkel said: “Deontay broke his right hand behind the third knuckle and he has to have that fixed next week.
      “He has to have surgery, the knuckle is OK, it’s the bone behind the knuckle that broke. He’s sore but he was OK, he was home yesterday.”
      Wilder blamed his rematch loss to Fury last year on everything but a masterclass from the Gypsy King, who he initially drew with in 2018.
      His excuses, which were stuck by but never proven, ranged from Fury fighting with WEIGHTS in his gloves and his water being SPIKED.
      After the hand surgery he’ll probably look to enter the ring mid next year, like April or May.Deontay Wilder’s manager Shelly Finkel
      But after 11 thrilling rounds in their trilogy decider, Wilder’s reputation has been restored, despite failing to reclaim the WBC title.
      With close to £50million earned from his three fights with Fury alone, the former WBC champion will only be returning to the ring for the biggest nights possible.
      And that includes with AJ, who Wilder failed to agree terms with from 2018-2019.
      Joshua, 31, has recently invoked his right to an immediate rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, 34, who dethroned the Londoner in September.
      But win or lose, Wilder will await the two-time champion with a return planned for next summer.
      Finkel said: “He’s healing and at this point, if everything is OK.
      “After the hand surgery he’ll probably look to enter the ring mid next year, like April or May.”

      Tyson Fury’s mum has NEVER been to his fights and doesn’t care if he’s champ so long as her son is ‘healthy and happy’

      Fury is world boxing’s No1 after defeating Deontay Wilder in Saturday’s Las Vegas trilogy battle.
      He had been hoping to fight Anthony Joshua in an all-British, world heavyweight unifier.
      But AJ lost his belts to Oleksandr Usyk last month and has already triggered his rematch clause – with that fight likely taking place in March.
      Fury will now consider his options after becoming king of the ring.
      But one person who isn’t too interested in his next step is Fury’s mum, Amber.
      The Gypsy King claims she has never watched him fight, either as an amateur or a pro.

      And she is not interested in his world heavyweight belts, with her only concern being whether Fury is ‘healthy and happy’.
      He told the Telegraph: “She has never been to one of my fights, amateur or pro, and never been in the public eye at all. 
      “My mam doesn’t care if I’m world champion or not, as long as I’m healthy and happy. 
      “You could give my mother that table full of £50 notes and diamonds and it wouldn’t change who she is, ever.”
      Meanwhile, Fury has hinted he could sensationally retire after being Wilder again.
      He added: “I don’t know what’s going to happen.
      ‘I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS’
      “I’ve got one fight left on my contract with Top Rank and ESPN and we’ll see what that is.
      “But I’m not thinking about boxing right now. I don’t know how many fights I’ve got left.
      “I don’t know if I need to fight any more. I don’t know what the future holds.”

      Talk immediately went to who he could possibly face next – with the winner of the Anthony Joshua versus Oleksandr Usyk rematch in an undisputed scrap seemingly the most likely.
      Fellow Brit Dillian Whyte could FINALLY get his world title shot as he is the mandatory for Fury’s WBC belt.
      But Morecambe mauler Fury is going to put his next move in the sport onto the backburner and get back to ‘normal stuff’.

      After his win, Fury spent the night and following day partying non-stop with his family and friends to celebrate the heavyweight thriller.

      Tyson continued by crediting Wilder’s trainer, Malik Scott, for his work – saying he ‘won the night’ for his coaching.
      Iron Mike wrote: “Wilder’s coach Malik Scott won the night with great coaching.
      “When you are an amateur you have a coach, they nurture you, guide you and are with you every step of the way.
