At 37, it\u2019s now or never for \u2018The Gyspy King\u2019 Fury to return to the ring if he wants to take advantage of the youth that he still has.<\/p>\n<p>The retired former two-time heavyweight champion Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) has been licking his emotional wounds for the last year, still believing he deserved victories in his two fights against Oleksandr Usyk.<\/p>\n<p>AJ &amp; Usyk Paydays<\/p>\n<p>If Fury returns to the ring in 2026, there\u2019s a goldmine he can enjoy by fighting back-to-back fights against Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk. It doesn\u2019t matter if he loses both; the money he\u2019ll make will be colossal. His net worth is currently estimated at $160 million.<\/p>\n<p>Money Motivation<\/p>\n<p>If Tyson is ambitious, he could fight three times in 2026 and increase his net worth to potentially half a billion.

In Tyson\u2019s last two fights, he weighed 262 lbs and 281 pounds, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>At those weights, he was too slow and plodding to do much against Usyk. He resembled a big, slow-moving bear, and it wasn\u2019t going to work against the nimble-footed Oleksandr.<\/p>\n<p>Hearn Wants It Bad<\/p>\n<p>Joshua\u2019s promoter, Eddie Hearn, is eager to get the \u2018Battle of Britain\u2019 on in 2026, saying to Sky Sport,\u00a0\u201cI believe Fury is a competitor and that fight is on a plate for him now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hearn has been pushing for the Fury vs. Joshua fight since he first signed AJ in 2013. Now, 12 years later, he\u2019s still desperate to make this one happen. It\u2019s up to Fury whether he wants to risk his pride and ego by facing Joshua to find out which of the two is the better fighter.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2014, Olly Campbell has brought readers clear ringside perspective and a steady voice on boxing\u2019s biggest nights.<\/p>\n<p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxingnews24.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Boxing News 24<\/a> \u00bb Fury Says He\u2019ll \u201cReturn to His Throne\u201d in 2026 \u2014 But Can the Gypsy King Still Rule?<\/p>\n<p>Last Updated on 12\/08\/2025 \t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyson Fury is talking about wanting to return to his \u201cthrone\u201d on top of the heavyweight division.
