Fury ready for comeback, eyes Usyk rematch
LondoncTypeface:> Tyson Fury has said he wants a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk or an all-British showdown against long-time rival Anthony Joshua as he plots a return to the ring in 2026. Fury retired from the sport following December's rematch defeat to Ukrainian Usyk, but Saudi Arabian boxing chief Turki Alalshikh revealed on Wednesday that the 36-year-old had told him of his intention to fight next year. Fury - posted footage of himself back in the gym with trainer SugarHill Steward - then followed up that announcement himself, speaking to Boxing News at an IBA Pro Event in Istanbul. 'Who would I rather fight right now? Usyk. I want my revenge in England, that's all I want,' Fury said. 'I want my fair shout, and I don't believe I got a fair shout the last two times. I don't know what I'm going to have to do, because I can't let it go to a decision.' (PA Media/dpa)
