Usyk is currently 2-0 up over FuryCredit: GETTY<\/p>\n
Fury retired from boxing in January this year, following his two back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk<\/a> in 2024.<\/p>\n The 36-year-old hung up his gloves, aggrieved by the results of his only two career defeats, with a professional record of 34-2-1.<\/p>\n Having recently taken to Instagram to tease his plan to return to the ring<\/a>, he named his list of three opponents he is targeting for his return: Anthony Joshua<\/a>, Usyk and Daniel Dubois.<\/p>\n In a recent interview with The Stomping Ground<\/a>, Fury Sr revealed he would rather his son remain retired.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cPeople want to see the Gypsy King, but I would rather him stay retired. He’s done his bit for the boxing world.<\/p>\n \u201cHe still loves his fans and he thanks them all very much for what they’ve done, but it’s only my opinion only I’d like to see him stay retired.\u201d<\/p>\n Having seen first hand the level of fame that Fury gets, his dad understands the public\u2019s desire to see Fury return to the ring but remained stern in his stance.<\/p>\n He explained: \u201cHealth, and he’s got a family, he’s other commitments apart from boxing.<\/p>\n \u201cHe’s done what he has to do in boxing, as far as I’m concerned, and he’s got a lot of young children he wants to be a father to, and he wants to be a healthy father, not somebody that’s ended up an imitation or one, you know.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cSo it’s health before wealth. He’s got the wealth, he’s got everything else, he just needs to calm down and concentrate on what’s important.”<\/p>\n 2<\/p>\n 24 of Fury’s 34 wins have come by way of knockoutCredit: GettyWho would Tyson Fury fight if he does come back?<\/p>\n Following Usyk’s fifth round stoppage against Dubois last weekend, Fury actually shared a video calling his old foe out<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Ukrainian seems to be his top contender, since Fury recently announced on Instagram they would be having their trilogy bout in 2026.<\/p>\n While that remains unconfirmed, Fury certainly made it clear that he wants a chance to get a win over Usyk’s 2-0 lead. <\/p>\n As Usyk has now been ordered to defend his undisputed heavyweight crown<\/a> against Joseph Parker<\/a>, one of the other two names given by Fury may be more likely. <\/p>\n Those names being fellow Britons Joshua and Dubois, who are both coming off of defeats in their most recent appearances like Fury. <\/p>\n As it stands, Fury’s return to the ring is yet to be officially announced but should he come back he will certainly be up against a big name within the division.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyson Fury announced via social media that he would be returning to the sport in 2026.
