Tyson Fury has outlined his top three boxing opponents as he prepares for his comeback to the ring, with a highly anticipated clash against Anthony Joshua at the top of his list. The ‘Gypsy King’ surprised fans when he announced his retirement in January last year after consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk, but he has since made a U-turn on his decision. Recently, Fury has been intensifying his training regimen and is currently honing his skills in Thailand in preparation for a busy upcoming boxing season.
At 37 years old, Fury has been training alongside WBC bridgerweight champion Kevin Lerena, signaling his readiness for challenging matchups. Apart from seeking a rematch with Usyk, the former two-time heavyweight champion is also eyeing potential fights against Joshua and Fabio Wardley, both fellow Brits. Fury shared a captivating image on his official Instagram account, featuring him staring down his three heavyweight rivals.
In a recent development, Fury expressed interest in a potential bout with Wardley, indicating a possible showdown later in 2026. Wardley gained attention after a spectacular eleventh-round knockout victory over Joseph Parker last year, leading to him being promoted to full champion after Usyk vacated the title. However, a trilogy fight with Usyk seems unlikely as the Ukrainian’s advisor has suggested that their rivalry is concluded.
Amidst fans’ anticipation for a face-off between Fury and Joshua, uncertainties loom over Joshua’s future following a tragic car accident in Nigeria that claimed the lives of two close friends. Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, acknowledged that the highly anticipated matchup between Fury and Joshua may be delayed until late 2026, considering the recent turn of events. Warren emphasized that boxing may not be a priority for Joshua at the moment as he copes with the aftermath of the accident.
