Turki Alalshikh says that Tyson Fury will return to boxing in 2026, which is probably not a surprise to anyone short of that return not coming in 2025.

“‘The Gypsy King’ will be back!!! I talked with him, and I have his word to have him in Riyadh Season in 2026,” Alalshikh posted on social media. “We have a rabbit to hunt!”

The “rabbit to hunt,” of course, would be Oleksandr Usyk, whom Fury famously taunted as “a rabbit” several times before both of his losses to the Ukrainian in 2024.

Fury just said that the only fight he’d return for is a third bout with Usyk, feeling he was robbed in the rematch, a feeling that has only grown stronger over time with the ex-champion.

Fury says he wants that fight in England for a “fair fight and a fair result.” Both of their first two bouts were held in Riyadh, with the more-disputed second bout being scored by geographically neutral judges — as all world title fights are meant to have — from the United States, Panama, and Puerto Rico.

Usyk will face Daniel Dubois for the undisputed heavyweight championship in another rematch on July 19 at Wembley Stadium.
