Tyson Fury Announces 2026 Comeback After Yearlong Retirement

Saudi plans for a FuryJoshua bout in 2026 now face doubt following Joshua’s fatal car crash in Nigeria.

Overview

  • Fury, 37, confirmed his return on Instagram, a year after retiring following back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk in 2024.
  • He has posted training footage from Thailand, including work with WBC bridgerweight champion Kevin Lerena, signaling active preparation.
  • No opponent, date or venue has been set, with reports pointing to an early-2026 bout before any larger matchup.
  • Anthony Joshua was injured in a Nigeria crash that killed teammates Sina Ghami and Latif ‘Latz’ Ayodele, with funerals held Sunday in London.
  • With Joshua’s status unclear, reported options for Fury include a trilogy fight with Usyk or a bout with WBO champion Fabio Wardley, as Saudi organizers reassess timelines.
