When former undisputed heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury announced his retirement earlier this year, few fans and pundits believed his retirement would be permanent. Nearly a full year to the day of his last fight, it appears Fury is actively working on a path back to the ring for a huge showdown in 2026.
Fury lost back-to-back decisions to Oleksandr Usyk in 2024, the first losing streak of his career. Before his setback against Usyk, Fury was undefeated in his career with victories over the likes of Deontay Wilder, Wladimir Klitschko and Derek Chisora.
In recent months, Fury has appeared to be targeting a possible return after several meetings with Turki Alalshikh and Riyadh Season, including once with his father, John. As 2025 draws to a close, Fury will reportedly make one of boxing’s most sought-after matches a reality.
The Ring: Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua agreed for mega event in 2026
According to The ringFury has agreed in principle to a fight against fellow British heavyweight boxing legend, Anthony Joshua, in 2026. The ring also reports that Fury and Joshua will fight in separate bouts before their agreed-upon bout against yet-to-be-announced opponents.
Joshua is scheduled to fight Jake Paul in a heavyweight bout next week, in his first fight since a knockout loss to Daniel Dubois last year. Fury and Joshua are two of the greatest heavyweights of all time, especially in the history of British boxing.
Joshua’s most recent win came against former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, handing Ngannou a brutal knockout defeat. Fury’s last victory came against Ngannou in a controversial decision victory.
Joshua and Fury’s return to the ring adds new life to the heavyweight division, headlined by Usyk and newcomers like Moses Itauma. More information about Joshua and Fury’s next fights are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
