Boxing champion Tyson Fury has unveiled his top targets for upcoming fights as he prepares to make a comeback to the ring this year, with a highly anticipated clash against rival Anthony Joshua topping his list.
After briefly retiring following consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk, the ‘Gypsy King’ has reversed his decision and is intensifying his training regime, currently honing his skills in Thailand for an eventful return to boxing.
The 37-year-old Fury has been sparring with WBC bridgerweight champion Kevin Lerena and has expressed interest in facing off against Usyk, Joshua, and Fabio Wardley. A recent social media post by Fury showcased an image of him confronting his three heavyweight rivals, hinting at potential future matchups.
Regarding a possible fight with Wardley, Fury hinted at a future bout, acknowledging the opportunity for a showdown later in 2026. Meanwhile, Usyk’s camp appears less inclined towards a trilogy fight with Fury, indicating a reluctance to revisit their rivalry in the near future.
While a much-anticipated showdown between Fury and Joshua seemed imminent, uncertainties now loom over Joshua’s future following a tragic car accident in Nigeria that claimed the lives of two close associates. Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, has suggested that a potential Fury-Joshua matchup may be delayed until late 2026 or potentially may not happen at all, considering the recent events.
