Fury Comeback Gathers Pace as Manager Eyes Three Fights in 2026, Makhmudov Leads Tune-Up Race

Brandon Moore has been formally offered as an opponent, with John Fury vowing to reshape camp for an April-ready Tyson.

Overview

Manager Spencer Brown says the team is considering a three-fight campaign this year, with an opening bout targeted in the first quarter.
Brown named Arslanbek Makhmudov as a front-runner for the tune-up, and promoter Frank Warren has indicated interest in that matchup.
Promoter Dmitriy Salita has proposed USBA champion Brandon Moore as Fury’s return opponent, putting a formal offer on the table.
John Fury says he will rejoin the setup to overhaul training, aiming to trim Tyson below 19 stone and have him in “Spartan” shape by April.
No contracts, dates or venues have been finalized, as Fury trains in Thailand and explores a larger summer fight that could include Usyk, Joshua or Wardley.
