Tyson Fury, the former world heavyweight boxing champion, announced his return to the sport on January 4, 2026, after retiring in December 2024 following a loss to Oleksandr Usyk. The 37-year-old British boxer confirmed his comeback via social media, stating his intention to return to the ring in 2026. Fury's announcement fuels speculation about a potential future fight with British rival Anthony Joshua. Before his previous retirement, Fury had an impressive record of 34 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss. While Fury did not specify potential opponents, a fight with Joshua, a trilogy fight with Usyk, or a clash with WBO champion Fabio Wardley are possibilities.
