Tyson Fury is back, but he understands the various risks that come with his latest boxing comeback.
Fury, who announced his retirement following a rematch loss to Oleksandr Usyk in December 2024, will return to the ring in a pair of Riyadh Season fights later this year. Although Fury’s first fight out of retirement has not yet been formally announced, it is rumored that he will meet British legend Anthony Joshua in a boxing match later in 2026.
This isn’t the first time Fury has changed his previous stance on retirement. After a trilogy win over Deontay Wilder in October 2021, Fury announced his retirement, returning just six months later in a win over Dillian Whyte.
Tyson Fury admits he ‘could end up in a wheelchair’ after latest retirement reversal
In a recent one interviewFury explained his decision to continue fighting.
“For me, there’s nothing else but the fight game,” Fury said.
“I love this fighting game. It’s not for financial gain, I could have retired 10 years ago, I’ve made an absolute fortune. I’ll be 37, 38 later this year. I’m older than I am———-, but I love fighting. I have no other interests, just fighting. I was born and raised to fight. I love fighting.”
“Eventually I’ll be feistier than I am… and I’ll probably end up in a wheelchair like the rest of them,” Fury continued. “Kill you to death, I don’t know if it’s Tuesday, Wednesday or December, but it’s the game I chose.”
Fury will look to snap the first losing skid of his career when he returns to the ring against a yet-to-be-announced opponent. Before his back-to-back losses to Usyk, Fury was undefeated through 35 career fights, including recent victories over former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou and Derek Chisora.
