Tyson Fury has reportedly agreed to return to boxing, according to a stunning announcement by Turki Alalshikh. Fury had previously announced his retirement in February after suffering a second loss to Oleksandr Usyk. The ‘Gypsy King’ expressed his satisfaction with his career and stated that he would not be making a comeback. Nevertheless, he suggested that he might return only for a third match against Usyk. It now appears that Fury’s desire has been fulfilled. Saudi boxing head Alalshikh revealed on X on Wednesday that Fury has committed to coming out of retirement. He shared: “The ‘Gypsy King’ is returning!!!” I spoke with him, and he has promised to participate in Riyadh Season in 2026. Alalshikh made a mention of a ‘rabbit’, which refers to Fury’s nickname for Usyk during their ongoing rivalry, stating, “We have a rabbit to hunt!” The announcement featured a photograph of Fury and Alalshikh shaking hands. This potential return could excite boxing fans about the prospect of an all-British bout with ex-heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua. Joshua has kept the door open for a major fight with Fury, and now there is a possibility it could actually take place.
