Overview
- Fury, 37, announced his return on Instagram and shared new training footage from Thailand alongside WBC bridgerweight champion Kevin Lerena.
- He previously retired in January 2025 after consecutive decision losses to Oleksandr Usyk in 2024, marking at least his fifth retirement U-turn.
- Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh has said Fury gave his word to fight during Riyadh Season 2026, though no contracts have been signed.
- A long-discussed bout with Anthony Joshua is uncertain after Joshua was injured in a Nigeria car crash that killed two team members, clouding near-term plans.
- If Joshua is unavailable, reported options include a Usyk trilogy or a fight with WBO champion Fabio Wardley, with a win positioning Fury for a third world title reign.
