Tyson Fury has been offered a number of comeback fights in recent weeks.
Tyson Fury, the former two-time heavyweight world champion, has reportedly rejected several offers for a potential comeback to the boxing ring.
Fury announced his retirement in January after consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk, only to reverse his decision months later, then reiterate his lack of interest in returning to the ring.
The ‘Gypsy King’ is rumored to be facing Anthony Joshua next summer, a match that promoter Eddie Hearn is eager to see. However, despite speculation about a remarkable return to boxing, Fury appears uninterested.
Spencer Brown, Fury’s manager, disclosed that his high-profile client has declined all recent opportunities. Despite being seen training regularly – suggesting a possible return to competition – Brown remains uncertain about Fury’s future in the ring.
In a recent interview with BoxNation, Brown was questioned about the possibility of Fury’s return to boxing. He responded: “Is he coming back? Look, Tyson’s got an itch he probably wants to scratch. Is he coming back? I don’t know, we won’t know. All I can say is he’s been offered fights.
“He’s turned everything down at the moment. Tyson’s Tyson. All of a sudden, tomorrow, he might say I’m fighting again or he might say I’m never fighting again. That’s Tyson, that’s why we love him. He’s this mystery figure. Would I like to see him come back? Yeah, for selfish personal reasons.”
Just last month, Fury made headlines by stating that not even £1 billion would tempt him back into the ring. This surprising statement came shortly after his promoter, Frank Warren, told Sky Sports that the boxer was actually planning a comeback in 2026.
“He’s got to confirm it and sit down and work out when it’s going to be. If we do that then I’ll be delighted we can announce it. But he’s indicated to me and I know to a lot of people that he does want to carry on. So we’ll see,” Warren told Sky Sports.
The seasoned promoter also added: “The fight he really wants is another go with Mr. Usyk, he really wants that. And they were great fights, really close fights, to watch. I’d watch that again. That’s the fight he wants.
“That’s the one he talks about all the time. He hasn’t got a lot of miles on the clock. He’s nobody’s fool, he’s a very smart guy, he knows better than you and me what he’s got left.
“He’s a fighting man and if he decides that he’s going to move forward and do it, he’ll do it. He’s not a stupid guy who’s clutching at straws. He’ll only fight if he feels he can do it.”
