“Let’s Do It Again” Dangerous Heavyweight Responds To Tyson Fury’s Call To Fight

Tyson Fury has begun mentioning names for his possible ring return.

He announced back in January that he was hanging up the gloves following back-to-back losses to generational great Oleksandr Usyk. Both fights, in May and December 2024, were decided on points, and Fury believes he actually won both.

Regardless, the first win made Usyk the undisputed heavyweight champion on top of being a former undisputed cruiserweight champion, and if he beats Daniel Dubois this weekend, he will be the first ever two-time undisputed heavyweight ruler.

Fury announced last week he was keen to have a trilogy fight with Usyk in April next year, which the Ukrainian has said he might be open to.

Another heavyweight has now entered the equation though, after claiming that he has been called out by ‘The Gypsy King.’

Speaking to Seconds Out, hard-hitting Zhilei Zhang revealed Fury has been mentioning his name and said he would love to fight.

“There were reports that Tyson Fury was speaking my name in front of the media, saying that I’ll fight him in China. Let’s go, I’ll fight him in China.”

He then expressed how much a fight in his homeland would mean to him

“Yeah, it’s always been my dream.”

It was put to him that the former WBC champion Fury is great at mind games and was asked what he might say in the build-up to get under his skin.

“I’m never a big talker, I talk with my fists.”

It is unknown if Fury will return immediately into a big fight or if he may need a warm-up or two before stepping in with the likes of Zhang, who has fought at the top level and knocked out Deontay Wilder, but also lost on points to Joseph Parker and was stopped by Agit Kabayel last time out.

“He’s Going Down—No Doubt About It” Tyson Fury Drops Chilling Final Prediction for Usyk vs. Daniel Dubois

Tyson Fury knows Oleksandr Usyk, as a fighter, better than most. He has now weighed in on how his undisputed heavyweight championship fight against Daniel Dubois this weekend might play out.

Usyk first became the four-belt heavyweight ruler last year when he handed Fury his first loss. For the contracted rematch, he was forced to vacate the IBF belt and it was promptly picked up by Dubois, setting up this weekend’s Wembley battle.

When asked about the proposition of facing Dubois in the future during a conversation with the media, as reported by Boxing Scene, Fury said he would comfortably beat his countryman before predicting Usyk will do the same in this rematch.

“I don’t think [Dubois] will beat your man [Usyk] anyway. I think [Usyk]’s a tricky old wily character and he moves his feet. We all know that if you stand in front of Daniel Dubois, he’ll punch a hole in you. You move your feet around him, he’ll probably get tired and take a knee after about eight rounds with a jab.”

Though much of the debate on the return fight has centred on the low blow which left Usyk recovering on the canvas in the fifth round back in 2023, Fury’s prediction is a reminder of how it all ended: the Brit on one knee missing the referee’s count in the ninth.

Both men will take confidence from what they have done since, making it an intriguing main event for the biggest prize in the sport.

Following his second loss to Usyk, ‘The Gypsy King’ announced his retirement from the sport. He has since u-turned on that decision, as most expected, and announced he would like a trilogy.

Fury May Be Sidelined for the Rest of the Year, But a Shocking Usyk Rematch Could Be Lurking in the Shadows, Hints Frank Warren

Fury, 36, announced his retirement from boxing in January after losing twice against the WBA, WBC and WBO champion Usyk – who fights Daniel Dubois in an undisputed heavyweight bout at Wembley on Saturday.

But two-time heavyweight champion Fury – who retired in 2022 before returning six months later – has hinted at a return.

“I spoke to him [Fury] over the weekend about boxing. He won’t fight this year,” Warren told the 5 Live Boxing podcast.

“He’s got this Netflix second series coming but he’s in the gym. He’s in it for his wellbeing, physically and mentally. It keeps him in a good place.”

Earlier this month, Fury took to social media to announce plans for a trilogy bout with Ukranian Usyk at Wembley Stadium in April.

“He’s got that mentality that he’s in the gym and he needs to do something,” Queensberry boss Warren, who also promotes Dubois, added.

“He’s made it clear he wants to fight Usyk.”

Warren, who has promoted Fury since his comeback to boxing in 2018 after a two-year hiatus from the sport, dismissed suggestions the Morecambe fighter will take a tune-up fight.

If Fury – who has a record of 34-2-1 – does return, the long-mooted fight with Anthony Joshua or a match-up against Dubois could also be possible.

“He had some tough fights against [Deontay] Wilder. A fight I don’t think he was right for against [Francis] Ngannou and then the two tough fights against Usyk,” Warren said.

“He’s controlled most of the fights he’s been in but he’s not getting any younger. Knowing him, he’ll want to go straight in.”

Tyson Fury verbally agrees stunning boxing comeback with Anthony Joshua fight to finally take place

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have verbally agreed to a stunning boxing fight that will take place at Wembley, GB News can exclusively reveal.

Fury retired from the sport back in January, just weeks after suffering the second defeat of his professional career to Oleksandr Usyk.

His first loss was also at the hands of Usyk, who beat him in May last year in Saudi Arabia.

As for Joshua, the Watford-born star is yet to return to the ring since losing to Daniel Dubois back in September.

For years, talk of the two men doing battle has rumbled on and on.

With Fury retiring in January, many felt the ship had sailed and that Britain’s two biggest boxers would never engage in battle.

Now, however, GB News can exclusively reveal that Fury and Joshua have both agreed to fight – with the Gypsy King U-turning on his decision to quit the sport.

A well-placed source said: “Fury and Joshua is a case of when, not if.

“Tyson has agreed to come out of retirement to face AJ, which is why he’s been working hard in the gym in recent months.

“Things should be made official in the coming weeks.”

In recent years, many of the sport’s biggest fights have taken place in Saudi Arabia – with Turki Al-Sheikh having a big role to play.

Yet the bout between Fury and Joshua will take place at Wembley instead, with both figures keen for it to take place on UK soil instead of overseas.

The source also revealed that the fight could take place by the end of the year, if the pair and their entourages are able to agree on finances.

Fury made a staggering £67.3m from his December bout with Usyk but is likely to earn even more from a clash with Joshua.

Finances are, it’s understood, the only thing holding up a deal with the pair eager to secure as much money as possible.

The news that the clash will take place at Wembley, rather than on foreign soil, will likely please British fans on these shores.

Eddie Hearn, Joshua’s promoter, recently admitted that the fight could be ‘easily made’ in a huge sign that an agreement was close.

“I do [think it can be easily made],” he said.

“In the past, it’s always been: one’s a champion, one’s a challenger.

“Now, both guys are in a similar position: they’re coming off a defeat… Fury has two defeats, both to Oleksandr Usyk.

“They’re both still pretty much in their prime, and as we saw last Saturday, sometimes you don’t need the world championship belt.

“Sometimes when you’ve got two champions trying to become undisputed, it’s a little bit cagey.

“Benn vs Eubank Jr was just a great example of two guys that just went to war, and that’s exactly what you’d get with AJ against Fury.”

‘He is 15 times better than, Former Daniel Dubois trainer’s interesting response to Tyson Fury callout

The former Daniel Dubois trainer, Shane McGuigan, has responded to Tyson Fury’s callout of the young heavyweight.

Dubois is preparing to face Oleksandr Usyk for the chance at becoming undisputed champion on July 19th.

Shane McGuigan says Daniel Dubois is ’15 times’ the fighter of Francis Ngannou in Tyson Fury callout response

Now, during Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano fight week, McGuigan was asked for his reaction to the comments about his former fighter.

In the interview, he said: “I mean, I don’t know if that is a true comment or not, let’s put it this way, Daniel Dubois is 15 times the fighter Francis Ngannou is.

oleksandr usyk

“I know he might not have been up for it, but in terms of athleticism, that will to win, and he has got a boxing background, he is schooled, he is not like Ngannou.”

The 36-year-old famously won a narrow split decision over the former UFC champion in October 2023.

McGuigan explained: “Styles make fights, he is right, styles make fights in the sense he will cause Daniel a lot of problems, whether he can hold up to that punching power, I am not sure.

“And I think he definitely has the potential to beat Tyson, I don’t think Tyson is at his best anymore, Daniel Dubois is fresher.”

Oleksandr Usyk wants one more fight after Dubois, then retirement

It looks likely that the Ukrainian will hang up the gloves soon, but maybe he should retire after the Dubois clash.

However, this is not on the mind of the Olympic gold medallist just yet if he overcomes the Londoner.

Tyson fury

Speaking in an interview earlier this year, he said: “Now my goal is to become a three-time undisputed. Listen, I love boxing, training hard.

“I guess it’s my last two fights, with Dubois and next, I don’t know who. I’ll talk to you after this fight, it’s my life.”

If he does, he will follow in the footsteps of his fellow countryman, Vasiliy Lomachenko, as a fan favourite and legend of the game.

But his attention is firmly set on the tall task of a big punching heavyweight in the form of his life, which is never an easy ask.

Tyson Fury Views Deontay Wilder’s Comeback As ‘Sad,’ Doesn’t

Tyson Fury Views Deontay Wilder’s Comeback As ‘Sad,’ Doesn’t Believe in Former Champion

Tyson Fury doesn’t like Deontay Wilder. Not even a little bit. But even he’s disturbed by what he’s been watching.
Fury said Wednesday that he’s returning to fight in 2026 for a Riyadh Season card that’s still to be determined.
When it comes to their rivalry, Fury closed that book shut in 2021 following back-to-back stoppage wins over him. Since then, things haven’t gone Wilder’s way.
He looked as explosive as ever against Robert Helenius in 2022, resulting in a quick first-round KO. But he fell off the map immediately after.
Joseph Parker schooled Wilder in 2023, pitching a near shutout. In 2024, the 39-year-old was beat down and stopped in the fifth against Zhilei Zhang.
As the losses continue to pile up, Fury has watched in the background. Quietly, the big man from the U.K. might’ve been rooting for Wilder. However, after seeing him lose time and time again, Fury has come to the realization that the former WBC beltholder simply isn’t the same.
It’s sad to see someone of Deontay Wilder’s ferocity just a shadow of his former glory,” Fury told several reporters recently.

On a bright note, Wilder’s career is on an upswing. On June 27, he got back in the win column. Tyrrell Herndon was treated as a sacrificial lamb as Wilder (44-4-1, 43 KOs) had an easy time at Charles Koch Arena in Wichita, Kansas. He mostly toyed with him until he found the fight-ending shot in the seventh.
That win, he hopes, will become more common. Ultimately, he’s optimistic that his final destination is a showdown against current unified heavyweight titlist, Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury highly doubts that will happen. The speed, toughness and, of course, deleterious power, just isn’t there anymore, according to Fury.
Boxing takes no prisoners, and Father Time continues to be undefeated. So seeing Wilder decline rapidly isn’t a surprise to Fury, but he isn’t a fan of how the back end of his career is playing out.
“I’m sad for him.”

Spectacularly: Turki Alalshikh’s Grand Vision For Delivering The Epic Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua Showdown Has Been Unveiled

Anthony Joshua: Turki Alalshikh prepares comeback fights for Fury and Joshua towards an epic showdown Saudi promoter Turki Alalshikh has ambitious plans for Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua to return to the ring for warm-up fights before facing each other in a blockbuster bout.

According to Eddie Hearn, this strategy refined with Riyadh Season seeks to maximize expectations and ensure that the great British showdown in the world of professional boxing is realized.
Who is Turki Alalshikh and why does his plan matter?

Turki Alalshikh, chairman of the Saudi Arabian General Entertainment Authority, has managed to bring high-profile fights to the country and coordinates events with significant financial assistance. His plan is not improvised: first he plans comeback fights for each boxer, and then bring them together in a main event that will attract worldwide attention.

This provides a clear framework: first recover, then clash. Eddie Hearn added that Anthony Joshua maintains his focus and rebuilds from scratch, while Tyson Fury, even in retirement, remains a relevant player thanks to Saudi backing.

Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua plan details

  • Anthony Joshua: Joshua is in talks to fight in late 2025 during the Riyadh Season, dodging an early return against Fury. His return is expected between October and December, possibly against another contractually required contender before facing Fury.
    • Tyson Fury: Fury confirmed his return in 2026 under the sponsorship of Alalshikh, although he is torn between facing Oleksandr Usyk or going straight to Joshua. Although he would aspire to a “trilogy” against Usyk, the plan also considers his clash with Joshua as a monumental event

    The rivalry generates global expectation. A Fury vs. Joshua fight at Wembley or Riyadh is shaping up to be one of the biggest in British boxing. The idea is to first consolidate their prominence with comeback fights, attract audiences and profitability, and then seal the main fight.

  • Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua, a million-dollar idea

  • The idea is to first consolidate the spotlight with comeback fights, attract audiences and profitability, and then seal the main fight for the delight of the spectators. Fury retired after recent defeats, which raises doubts about his willingness to return and Joshua is coming off a loss and is recovering from surgery, but Hearn insists that he remains focused
  • Saudi billionaire Turki Alalshikh’s plan, according to promoter Eddie Hearn, follows a clear path: comeback fights for Fury and Joshua, and then seal the long-awaited showdown. If both overcome their recent conditions and Alalshikh delivers on his financial promise, we could see one of the most epic duels in modern boxing. For now, fans and analysts will be waiting to see how the first fights turn out.

Eddie Hearn gives brutal assessment of ’50-50′ Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul fight

Anthony Joshua: Jake Paul made a number of notable callouts following his win last Saturday over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Not only is Paul trying to disrupt a cruiserweight title unification bout between Jai Opetaia and Gilberto Ramirez, but he also called out Gervonta Davis and Anthony Joshua.

Regarding the heavyweight Joshua, Tyson Fury has said that a fight between Paul and the British star would be a ’50-50′ fight.

Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn was asked for his opinions on this take, to which he did not hold back.

Eddie Hearn does not see Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul as a close fight

In a recent interview with Pro Boxing Fans, the promoter was asked about Fury’s recent assessment of Paul vs Joshua. Hearn started by saying, “It’s great if it is [a 50-50 fight]. I mean, if it is, then you’ve got no problem seeing it.”

However, Hearn’s comments were seemingly said in regard to anticipation and marketing purposes.

When speaking on how the fight itself would play out, he said, “When AJ, I mean, decapitates is a strong word, when he renders Jake Paul unconscious, like he did to Francis Ngannou, don’t then say, ‘Oh, well, it was Jake Paul.’ Do you know what I mean?”

Hearn then said, “When AJ beat Francis Ngannou, Ngannou had just had a fight that could have gone either way with Tyson Fury. Then, AJ poleaxed him and then he’s just an MMA fighter.”

“Jake Paul is not Francis Ngannou,” Hearn added. “If you want to see Jake Paul exit the boxing world, make the fight.”

Anthony Joshua’s next opponent still not confirmed despite rumoured 2025 comeback

It is understood that Joshua is expected to return to the ring in 2025. A fight this year would be Joshua’s first outing since his knockout loss to Daniel Dubois.

Fury’s announcement that he has come out of retirement has not made Joshua’s situation any clearer despite a fight between the two being highly anticipated.

The ‘Gypsy King’ has stated he wants his comeback fight to be with Oleksandr Usyk, and in 2026.

In terms of an opponent for Joshua this year, a likely opponent is currently unclear. However, following Deontay Wilder’s recent win, many feel that ‘AJ’ should face ‘The Bronze Bomber’.

Former World Heavyweight Champion Fury Hints Usyk Ahead Trilogy Bout will Be At Wembley in April

Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has hinted he will fight Oleksandr Usyk in a trilogy bout at Wembley Stadium in April 2026.

Fury, 36, retired from boxing in January after losing a title fight rematch with Usyk by unanimous decision the previous month.

“April 18 2026 Wembley Stadium. The trilogy!”, Fury posted on social media on Thursday.

Fury’s co-promoters Queensberry told BBC Sport it is in discussions with Team Fury and Riyadh Season, the annual cultural and sporting event in the capital of Saudi Arabia.

On Wednesday, Saudi boxing powerbroker Turki Alalshikh also claimed Fury would come out of retirement next year.

“The ‘Gypsy King’ will be back,” Alalshikh said in a post on X.

“I talked with him, and I have his word to have him in Riyadh Season in 2026. We have a rabbit to hunt.”

Fury often referred to Usyk as a “rabbit” in the build-up to their title fights, both of which were held in Riyadh.

The Ukrainian won their first encounter in May 2024 by split decision to become the heavyweight division’s first undisputed four-belt champion.

The trilogy bout may depend on the outcome of Usyk’s meeting with Daniel Dubois next month. Usyk will become a two-time undisputed heavyweight champion should he defeat the Briton at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, 19 July.

Despite the enthusiasm, Tyson Fury destroys Anthony Joshua’s dream of having a perfect fight and even calls him an old boxer

Anthony Joshua : The “Gypsy King” rules out a fight with Anthony Joshua and dismisses him harshly, saying he is no longer a challenge

For years, boxing fans have eagerly awaited a showdown between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. After Fury‘s retirement announcement in January, many thought the long-awaited fight would never happen

However, a recent exclusive from GB News has reignited hope: the two fighters have reportedly reached an agreement to step into the ring.

According to a close source quoted by the British media, “the fight between Fury and Joshua is a matter of when, not if it will happen”. The same informant claimed that Fury has decided to come out of retirement to face Joshua, and that he has therefore stepped up his physical preparation in recent months. The official announcement is expected to be made in the coming weeks.

Fury vs. Joshua: Historic night at Wembley or just smoke and mirrors?

In recent years, Saudi Arabia has become the epicenter of major boxing events, driven by the influence of His Excellency Turki Alalshikh. However, the eagerly awaited fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua is reportedly being negotiated to take place at the iconic Wembley Stadium. According to sources close to the negotiations, both fighters are said to have insisted on fighting on British soil, which would make the evening a milestone for UKboxing.

Despite the enthusiasm, uncertainty persists. The reason? Just a few days ago, Tyson Fury publicly ruled out the possibility of facing Joshua, saying: “I’m retired, and he’s in the twilight of his career”. Although he claims to be happy with his retirement, Fury has hinted that only one opponent could bring him back to the ring… and no, it’s not Anthony Joshua.

Anthony joshua

Fury only thinks about Usyk: “That’s the fight I want”

In an interview with Boxing Scene, Tyson Fury was clear about his conditions for returning to the ring: he would only do so to face Oleksandr Usyk, and on British soil. “If I come back, it will be for Usyk, in England. That’s the fight I want right now,” said the former WBC world champion.

Fury, who still maintains he won his second fight against the Ukrainian last December, did not hide his frustration with the judges’ decision. “My last fight was a clear win for the ‘Gypsy King’. Anyone in boxing knows that. It was complete rubbish,” said the visibly upset Briton.

It is clear that Fury’s position for a fight with Anthony Joshua is negative, as he considers that his best option now is the rematch against Usyk, where he wants a clean fight and where he is not harmed by the judges. However, the news surrounding Usyk facing Daniel Dubois on July 19 leaves the door open to perhaps see the return of the ‘Gypsy King’ to the ring to seek the true end of his career against Joshua.
