“Gypsy King” Tyson Fury names three potential opponents as he prepares to end retirement and return to boxing.”
‘The Gypsy King’ hung up his gloves in January after suffering back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
However, he has since teased a possible return to the ring.
Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh recently revealed to talkSPORT that he is currently negotiating a three-fight deal with Fury.
And there were three names on the Brit’s lips when iFL TV asked him to list match-ups that would motivate him to box again.
“Well, don’t hold your breath, it’s not going to be this year, but it might be next year,” he said.
“If I get the right offer, it might be 2026. If it turns me on, then I will come back.
“But if there is no turn on, I will stay retired. AJ, [Oleksandr] Usyk, [Daniel] Dubois, any of them or maybe all of them.”

Fury won’t be able to make a comeback until next year due to his ongoing commitments to various projects with Netflix.
The two-time world heavyweight champion is currently in the middle of filming a documentary about his life as well as the second series of ‘At Home with the Furys’.
Once that is wrapped up, Alalshikh intends to start sowing the seeds for the long-awaited all-British showdown between Fury and Joshua.
“I need to have, for each, one tune-up fight first.

“Why? Because they are both coming off losses. It’s to build it up.”
Tune-up fights have proved costly to Alalshikh’s plans in the past.
Over the last 12 months, Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney’s much-anticipated rematch as well as a blockbuster showdown between Joshua and Deontay Wilder have been derailed when one fight stood between them.
Boxing fans will be hoping and praying that Joshua vs Fury doesn’t meet the same fate.
The domestic dust-up has been in negotiations on several occasions to no avail, and even though neither man holds a major world title anymore, it remains the biggest fight in British boxing.
