<\/p>\nTyson Fury has returned and is looking to get back into the ring in a big way. \u00a0And in a statement online, Fury said that fellow British basher Fabio Wardley \u201ccould be an option\u201d for 2026.<\/p>\n
At 37 years old, Fury has just a few fights left in his career and previously told the author he wants those fights to be meaningful ones. He has begun training in Thailand for a potential comeback, though who he will face next remains unclear.<\/p>\n
Fury remains one of the biggest names not just in boxing, but sports in general, and any ring return by the former champion will get major attention.<\/p>\n
A chance at one more title, Wardley\u2019s WBO title in this case, could be a perfect fit. And not surprisingly, Wardley, fresh off stopping Fury\u2019s good friend Joseph Parker (36-4), is keen for the fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was good [to be named on Tyson Fury\u2019s hit list] because he was already on mine. It makes no difference to me,\u201d Wardley said in an interview with Sky Sports<\/a>. \u201cI think being open [to negotiations] might be a bit of an understatement. I\u2019d be extremely keen to see if he\u2019s genuine about it or not.\u201d<\/p>\n Fury responded on Instagram, saying, “Let’s see how I look and get on in my return.”<\/p>\n A fight that makes sense for Wardley as well<\/p>\n It\u2019s a much better WBO world championship fight than a rumoured potential clash with Derek Chisora, who is entertaining but has taken enough big right hands in his long career.<\/p>\n Fury is a creative and unorthodox fighter, and Wardly vs. Fury is a classic \u201cpuncher vs. boxer\u201d matchup. Wardley\u2019s career has been built around big right hands and come-from-behind knockouts. None bigger than when he dropped Huni last summer at Portman Road in his hometown to secure a sensational come-from-behind knockout.<\/p>\n Could he summon the magic of his last two wins against Fury? Will the Cinderella story continue?<\/p>\n Fury remains one of sports big entertainers | IMAGO \/ PA Images<\/p>\n Fury looking at his final championship level fights<\/p>\n Fury has previously signaled an interest in fighting Joshua in a \u201cBattle of Britain,\u201d or taking on Oleksandr Usyk for a third time. But the clock is ticking if he wants to win another world title. Fury turns 38 in August. Fabio Wardley will be 31.<\/p>\n Anthony Joshua\u2019s future in the sport is unclear<\/a> after being involved in a tragic car accident in Nigeria, and Oleksandr Usyk is aiming to fight Deontay Wilder on the West Coast in the spring of 2026.<\/p>\n The Latest Boxing News<\/p>\n Teddy Atlas Names Pound-For-Pound Star As His 2025 Fighter Of The Year<\/a><\/p>\n Tyson Fury Explains Motives Behind Boxing Retirement U-Turn<\/a><\/p>\n Deontay Wilder Makes Major Boxing Admission After Recent Struggles<\/a><\/p>\n![\"Tyson](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/01jrpa66cm8fbm74yax9.jpg\" "\\"Tyson")
