“Tyson Fury Eyes Joshua Showdown Amid Comeback”

Published:

Tyson Fury has unveiled his top three desired opponents as he gears up for his boxing comeback this year, with a potential clash against Anthony Joshua on the cards.

The ‘Gypsy King’ had previously announced his retirement in January last year after consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk but has since reversed his decision. Displaying a renewed focus on training, Fury is currently honing his skills in Thailand in preparation for his anticipated return to the ring.

Aged 37, Fury has been training alongside WBC bridgerweight champion Kevin Lerena and has been vocal about his potential challengers. Following his recent defeat to Usyk, Fury has been vocal about his desire for a third face-off with his rival.

In addition to Usyk, the former two-time heavyweight world champion is eyeing bouts with British compatriots Anthony Joshua and Fabio Wardley. Fury recently shared an intriguing image on his official Instagram account, teasing potential showdowns with the three heavyweight contenders.

Recent developments suggest a potential matchup between Fury and Wardley, with Fury expressing interest in a fight later in 2026. Wardley made headlines with a remarkable victory over Joseph Parker, securing the WBO interim title before being promoted to full champion after Usyk’s title vacation.

Despite fan interest in a trilogy fight with Usyk, uncertainty looms as Usyk’s camp has hinted at closing that chapter of their rivalry. Meanwhile, a highly anticipated all-British showdown between Fury and Joshua faced setbacks following Joshua’s involvement in a tragic car accident in Nigeria, casting doubt on their future matchup.

Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding a Fury-Joshua bout, citing the tragic events as a potential delay factor. Warren expressed concerns over Joshua’s well-being following the accident, emphasizing the need for mental recovery before considering a return to the ring.
