"Fury posted on Instagram that 2026 is that year. Return of the mac. Been away for a while but I'm back now, 37 years old and still punching, he said. Nothing better to do than punch men in the face and get paid for it. Before his two bouts with Usyk, Fury was unbeaten in 35 fights, winning 34 and drawing one. Fury did not mention potential opponents, but his announcement comes after increased speculation about a clash with British rival Joshua in 2026."
"Joshua, who is also a former world champion, last month knocked out YouTube star Jake Paul. But he was injured in a fatal car crash that killed two of his friends in Nigeria this week, which has resulted in uncertainty over his immediate plans. Fury is a two-time world champion. He ended the reign of Wladimir Klitschko with a points win in 2015 that saw him crowned Super WBA, IBF and WBO champion."
Tyson Fury announced a return to boxing in 2026 at age 37 after retiring in December 2024 following a loss to Oleksandr Usyk. Fury had been unbeaten in 35 fights before two losses to Usyk and previously won 34 with one draw. Fury's Instagram post said Return of the mac and included remarks about still punching and getting paid for it. The announcement raises speculation about a potential showdown with British rival Anthony Joshua, who recently knocked out Jake Paul but faces uncertainty after a car crash in Nigeria. Other possible opponents include a trilogy-deciding bout with Usyk or a fight with WBO champion Fabio Wardley.
