Tyson Fury hints at 2026 comeback

‘The king must return’: Tyson Fury hints at 2026 comeback

Tyson Fury appears to be once again ending his retirement.

Despite all of the talk about his latest retirement would be the one that sticks, even if he were offered a billion dollars, Tyson Fury has seemingly reversed course (in very Tyson Fury fashion), hinting at his return to boxing in the coming year. Many folks never believed Fury’s retirement would last very long, and their beliefs appear to have been vindicated by Fury’s latest post on his social media page.

“The king must return to his throne,” Fury posted in a caption under a rendition of him in Crusader form. “There is a long & lonely road that only I can walk on, but after the long & hard battles awaits immortality! Gods fighting 1man army the battle was won over 2k years ago by a man who goes by the name of Yesuar, in his holy name I march forward, 2026.”



The 37-year-old Fury is most recently coming off consecutive decision losses to Oleksandr Usyk in fights where he’s been critical of the scores, even if most believe he justifiably lost those bouts. A long-awaited fight against Anthony Joshua has been rumored for a while now and with Joshua set for an easy tune-up against Jake Paul, he should be fully fit and ready to take on Fury should that formally come together, which seems to be the mostly likely thing to happen at this point.

Why not make Fury vs Chisora 4 for Derek's 50th fight? It makes sense, just as Fury vs Chisora 3 did.

It will be a cash out against Joshua, in a fight 10 years past it's sell by date.

I think the only way he stays retired is if he is really humbled by someone.

We all know he comfortably lost to Usyk, but he is able to make an argument that he was robbed that the casuals will lap up.

It only stops when he can no longer make money by selling to them. Needs a stinker like Ricky/Naz experienced.

To be fair to him, he did well against Usyk in both fights, especially the early part of fight 1, but as usual, Usyk cranked up the pressure, and he was found out. You can't showboat, or take your foot off the gas with Usyk, he just keeps on coming. He's one of the best educated pressure fighters I've ever seen, and very hard to nail clean, certainly with more than one shot.

Fury should just stay retired, I suspect he finds it difficult to live without the adulation the crowd brings, he certainly doesn't need the money.

The return only happens if Turki wants it, and he does. He will be paying handsomely for it - Which he doesn't mind doing.

Does nothing for the sport if it is Fury v Joshua, both years past their best manufacturing some hype to sell tickets unless it is in Saudi then who cares

Just be another Khan-Brook.

Just the case of “seeing them share a ring”

By that time, both had taken losses, hard losses too, and far removed from being world champions or even contenders in their weights.

Good thing with HW’s is, Fury and Joshua can still get in the mix if they wanted.

They can still enter the current top 10 HW list with a decent win.

Tyson is coming off two losses to Usyk, one a split, hardly Khan or Brook like.

It'd still be the biggest Heavyweight fight in British History, and the winner probably lands themselves back in the Top 5, so I don't see how it would do nothing for the sport.

Although granted the winner of the Fury/Joshua bout wouldn't have much more to give the sport afterward.

With all signs once again point to Tyson Fury returning to boxing in the coming year iFL TV just recently caught up with him to ask him a few questions, beginning with one about a potential fight against Anthony Joshua, reasoning that it would be awful if both of them retired for good without ever having met in the ring.

“I don’t think so,” Fury responded. “I think you’ve had the use of me, all of you, for the past 20 years. I’ve made more f-ckin’ millionaires than the lotto has in this game, yeah. And if I never box again, I’m happy. Very happy, and you should be too because I’m out of this in one piece, still good looking, still able to turn every content out there and make ‘em happy. That’s what I do, I make people happy. I bring joy…I miss you all, too. God bless you, and I’ll see you in 2026 if the deal’s right.”

Fury was then asked about recent social media comments about a third fight with Oleksandr Usyk after he feels he was hard done by the first two times.

“I’ve watched that fight 100 times, even the last one, yeah — the last one more than the first one, really, because he did have that one round in Round 8 where he wobbled me all over the place, although I didn’t go down. I refused to go down like a f-ckin’ Spartan. But the second fight, wasn’t close, man. Please, go and watch the fight. Even the commentators afterwards, they all said four rounds up to Fury — all of ‘em! Watch TNT Sports!”

Finally, Fury would take a dramatic stance on the upcoming Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua fight.

“I think Jake Paul chins AJ if they fight. 100%. If they fight I’m putting £1M on Jake Paul.”

A good few thought he won the first. Ive no idea why the second gets all the controversy.

He is very happy but has watched the fight of Usyk beating him and convinced himself he won and that everybody else thinks he won too. Obviously very contented. Hope he hints at another comeback soon, time drags between him regurgitating the same old shite.

Why? I didn't score it for him but others on here did. I was in the venue and some thought he won. Notice I said a good few. Not loads, not the majority, a good few.

The 1st was quite close, though I thought it pretty obvious who won, I scored it on the night, there were definitely quite a few close rounds, but there were obviously some that Usyk won clearly.

I think the rematch was more convincing win for Usyk than the first.

In the second fight. he only outlanded Usyk in one round. The judges might have said it was close, but it wasn't.

I think people were swayed with the fact that it was a no nonsense Fury, and he was more serious., and did seem to box better.. But even with that, Usyk, also improved in the rematch.. Just shows how GOAT Usyk is.
