The man has been out of the ring for over a year, but now that he\u2019s announced another comeback, he\u2019s as brash as a young up and coming contender.  He\u2019s thirty seven years of age, but to listen to him on a video posted Saturday on social media, one might as well believe he\u2019s younger than twenty five. \u201cNo doubt in my mind,\u201d he said,  \u201cI can reach the top again.\u201d Oleksandr Usyk, who currently sits atop the heavyweight Mount Olympus might have something to say about that. He\u2019s bested Fury twice in a row. Fury, of course, believes he won on  both occasions and is therefore undeterred.  <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"738\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Fury-versus-Usyk.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-85323\" style=\"width:720px;height:auto\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh I\u2019m coming for you , whoever you are,\u201d he said.  \u201cOn my return as king you will be overthrown.\u201d Fury is known to make wild utterances, but he seems serious this time, as regular footage of the man training can be found throughout the internet.  \u201cWithin this year,\u201d  he asserted, \u201cI\u2019ll be back on top of heavyweight boxing.\u201d That might be easier said than done. Usyk still reigns supreme after all, and there\u2019s a crop of young heavies climbing the ladder. Again, though, Fury is unperturbed. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI beat the biggest puncher in history,\u2019 he said, \u201ctwo of the top ten, number one and number seven. I beat both.\u201d Fury didn\u2019t name the two men outright, but there\u2019s a good chance he\u2019s referring to Deontay Wilder, who he faced in a grueling trilogy, and the towering and hard hitting Wladimir Klitschko, who he originally won a world title from back in 2015.  \u201cPower,\u201d he added, \u201cdon\u2019t mean shit to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear who Fury\u2019s comeback opponent will be at the moment . There has been much talk for years now of Fury facing fellow Brit Anthony Joshua. Yet the recent automobile accident Joshua was involved in may keep the man from the ring for a while. He was hospitalized and lost two close friends as a result of the accident. One thing is certain  \u2013 the fact that Fury himself appears sure in the belief that he will once again become a divisional king. \u201cI refuse to go down,\u201d he said in the video. \u201cNo quit in me,\u201d he added. \u201cYou can cut my fucking legs off and arms off. I won\u2019t quit.  I\u2019ll bite your fucking face off then.\u201d Tough words from a genuinely tough man.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By: Sean Crose Give Tyson Fury this: he never lacks confidence.
