Tyson Fury has disclosed his list of three desired opponents as he prepares to make a comeback to the boxing ring this year, with a potential clash against Anthony Joshua in the works.
The ‘Gypsy King’ had previously announced his retirement from the sport in January last year following consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk, but has since reversed his decision. In recent months, Fury has been intensifying his training regimen and is currently in Thailand honing his skills for an anticipated return to the ring.
At 37, Fury has been training alongside WBC bridgerweight champion Kevin Lerena, and has been vocal about his potential rivals. Following his defeat to Usyk in December 2024, Fury has expressed a strong desire for a third bout with his longstanding adversary.
In addition to Usyk, the two-time former heavyweight world champion is also eyeing potential matchups with fellow Britons Joshua and Fabio Wardley. Recently, Fury shared a captivating image on his official Instagram account, depicting him facing off against these three heavyweight contenders.
Amid speculation of a showdown with Wardley, Fury hinted at a possible bout in late 2026, contingent on various factors including Joshua’s recent involvement in a tragic car accident in Nigeria. Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding a potential Fury-Joshua clash, citing the need for Joshua to cope with the recent loss of close friends before considering a return to the ring.
Fans have eagerly anticipated a battle between Fury and Joshua, with plans for a summer showdown gaining traction before Joshua’s tragic incident. The timing and feasibility of the much-anticipated match remain uncertain, with both fighters navigating personal and professional challenges in the aftermath of recent events.
