The 37-year-old last fought in December 2024, losing a rematch to Oleksandr Usyk before retiring. Fury declared “2026 is that year” on social media, but sources say key details including opponent and timetable are still unresolved.

A potential fight with Anthony Joshua hinges on financial backing and Saudi Arabia’s continued role in staging major heavyweight events. Joshua’s future is also uncertain after a car crash in Nigeria. Without Saudi involvement, a Fury–Joshua showdown remains difficult to secure, with no other promoter yet able to broker an agreement.
