Tyson Fury, who last fought in December 2024, has announced his return to professional boxing in 2026. Fury's most recent fight in December 2024 saw him lose by unanimous decision to Oleksandr Usyk in a bout for three of the four major heavyweight titles. Following this loss, he retired from professional boxing in January 2025, about a month later.
This announcement was made via an Instagram post on 4 January 2026. Fury, who was 37 years old at the time, had previously retired after beating Dillian Whyte in April 2022, but returned to the sport later that same year.
The news was reported by The Guardian on 4 January 2026.
