Former lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has declared his intention to return to the boxing ring this year, marking his first fight since his loss to Oleksandr Usyk in December 2024. Fury’s announcement comes after he retired following a closely contested rematch with the Ukrainian boxer, who claimed victory by split decision. This defeat marked a significant point in Fury’s career, as Usyk stands as the only fighter to have triumphed over him in his professional journey.
Fury’s boxing record boasts 34 wins, two losses, and one draw. Known as ‘The Gypsy King’, he has faced a tumultuous career, including a notable two-and-a-half-year hiatus from the sport due to mental health challenges following his victory over Wladimir Klitschko in 2015. Fury made a triumphant return in 2018, where he knocked out Deontay Wilder to secure the WBC heavyweight title in February 2020. Although he announced his retirement again in 2022, he made a comeback just six months later.
Fury’s return is highly anticipated in the boxing community, as fans are eager to see how he will respond after his recent defeat. His resilience and ability to bounce back from challenges have been a hallmark of his career, giving hope to many that he can reclaim glory in the heavyweight division.
