Tyson Fury Says He'd only Return From Retirement for Oleksandr Usyk Trilogy: 'I Want a Fair Fight'
- On July 2, Tyson Fury indicated that the only reason he would return to boxing is to face Oleksandr Usyk in a fair match held in England.
- Fury retired weeks after his second straight defeat to Usyk in December 2024 and has not fought since, though rumors of a return surfaced from social media and statements by Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh.
- Alalshikh claimed he spoke directly with Fury and obtained his word that Fury would participate in the 2026 Riyadh Season, possibly hinting at a Usyk trilogy fight under set conditions.
- Fury expressed that he was not seeking any special treatment, but rather an equitable contest and outcome, which he felt was denied to him. He also mentioned reviewing the fight footage around 250 times and believed he had clearly won the second bout by five rounds.
- Fury's potential return could reignite speculation about a matchup with Anthony Joshua, with promoter Eddie Hearn proposing a two-fight series, but Fury's comeback depends on specific fair conditions related to Usyk.
