Tyson Fury hilariously jokes Liz Truss lasted almost as long as his boxing retirement following PM’s resignation

TYSON FURY aimed a hilarious joke at Liz Truss after seeing the Prime Minister resign earlier today.

Truss, 47, announced she is stepping down after just 44 days in the job after her disastrous mini-budget wreaked havoc on the UK economy.

The Conservative Party are looking to install a new PM next week after yet another leadership vote.

And in the meantime, Truss will remain at the helm just days after making Jeremy Hunt the new Chancellor of the Exchequer.

She now holds the unenviable record for the briefest time spent in No10 Downing Street.

And boxing superstar Fury couldn’t resist aiming a dig at Truss after confirming he will fight Derek Chisora in December at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Fury claimed after his last fight, a KO win against Dillian Whyte in April, that he was retiring from boxing – again.

But in a joke aimed at Truss, and himself, Fury said the outbound PM’s time in office lasted as long as his retirement did.

The WBC heavyweight champion, referring to himself in the third person, said: “She’s stepped down? Has she?

“That was almost as brief as Tyson Fury’s retirement, that one.”

As for his upcoming bout with Chisora, Fury added: “I’m not gonna sit here and call Chisora names. I respect him.

“I’ve got nothing bad to say about Derek; he’s a good fighting man, and he brings his A game every time.

“[But] In my reign right now, I’m reigning supreme. I’ll beat him, and then I’ll beat the little middleweight guy [Usyk].

“He says he’s gonna knock me out, I wanna see him do it. If he does, I’ll be the first to congratulate him.”
