Tyson Fury isn't eager to return to boxing unless he can right a perceived wrong. Fury, who insisted he was staying retired as recently as May, claims an Oleksandr Usyk trilogy could change his mind, but only under set circumstances.

Fury, who is coming off of back-to-back losses to current unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, is expected to end his retirement and return to boxing in 2026, Turki Alalshikh confirmed to Ring Magazine. "I talked with him, and I have his word to have him in Riyadh Season in 2026," Alalshikh said. "We have a rabbit to hunt."

But Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn has confirmed his star attraction is waiting by the phone for a call and Fury’s wife Paris – who lost a baby boy six months into her 2024 pregnancy – has given her man the green light to return.
