"I was on holiday with my family in Thailand for Christmas just to get away from the rain. I was sick of the rain, it was depressing me and then I hear all about the bad news that's gone on and I thought: You know what, life is very, very short and very precious and very fragile and anything can happen at any given moment.' You should never put things off until tomorrow, or next year, or next week because tomorrow is not promised to nobody."
"The Bible says tomorrow is not a gift, tomorrow ain't promised, tomorrow is a mystery so we have to live for today. Me living for that day, I made my mind up there and then I was going to come back to boxing because it's something I love, I am passionate about and I have always been in love with. There is no tomorrow so that's why I am back today."
Tyson Fury will return to the ring on 11 April to face Russian-born heavyweight Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with the bout broadcast live on Netflix. Fury retired after his second successive loss to Oleksandr Usyk at the end of 2024 and went a calendar year without a fight before announcing a comeback on 4 January. The announcement followed a car crash in Nigeria that killed two of Anthony Joshua's close friends, which Fury cited as the catalyst for deciding to resume boxing. Fury said he was on holiday in Thailand at Christmas, felt depressed by rain, and decided the tragedy made him realise life is short and fragile. He said people should not postpone goals because tomorrow is not promised and that his passion for boxing motivated the return. Any planned Fury–Joshua meeting has been delayed to 2026.
