Tyson Fury expected to return next year, hints at Usyk trilogy bout

Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) is expected to return next year. Fury hinted that he will fight Oleksandr Usyk in trilogy bout at Wembley Stadium in April 2026.

Fury, 36, retired from boxing in January after losing rematch with Usyk via unanimous decision. He lost also the first fight between them.

“April 18 2026 Wembley Stadium. The trilogy!”, Fury wrote on social media.

On Wednesday, Saudi Arabia boxing powerbroker Turki Alalshikh also claimed that Fury will come out of retirement next year.

“The ‘Gypsy King’ will be back,” Alalshikh said in a post on X.

“I talked with him, and I have his word to have him in Riyadh Season in 2026. We have a rabbit to hunt.”

Fury often referred to Usyk as a “rabbit” in the build-up to their title fights, both of which were held in Riyadh.
