Tyson Fury Considering Bouts With Anthony Joshua, Oleksandr Usyk

British heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury has confirmed that his wife, Paris, has permitted him to return to the ring as he considers bouts with Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk.

Tyson Fury announced his retirement from professional boxing following his controversial defeat to Ukrainian boxer, Usyk in December 2024.

During an IBA show in Turkey, Fury said he might face Nigerian-born British boxer, Joshua or Usyk when he finally returns to the ring.

Fury Vs AJ bout has been on the cards for years, but negotiations for it have always ended unfruitfully, but the two British heavyweight boxers have not given up on the idea.

“Although AJ has been a rival of mine for ten years, he has been a fantastic advocate for British boxing and has played the game well,” Fury, 35, said.

“I wouldn’t say I hold all the power over him, but if he’s only sitting there and waiting for me to come, he could be waiting a long time.

“He might be f***ing 60 by the time I decide I want him – or it might be next week. I am looking forward to contemplating the idea of returning. I am taking it all onboard and I will make a decision in the forthcoming few months.”

While Anthony Joshua’s camp is looking forward to AJ returning to the ring for the first time this year with a bout against Tyson Fury, the ‘Gypsy King’ is looking forward to fighting the reigning world champion, Usyk in London.

He said, “But I feel like what I really want is revenge. But I only want to fight Oleksandr Usyk at Wembley, in front of 100,000 people, and lift all the belts. That would be my dream.”
