That was quick! A day after Saudi boxing energy dealer Turki Alalshikh introduced that Tyson Fury was able to make a comeback, “The Gypsy King” has introduced a date and opponent for his return.
“April 18, 2026, Wembley Stadium,” Fury posted on Instagram above an image of himself and Olyksandr Usyk. “The trilogy! UK! Contact Spencer Brown, Goldstar Promotions for tickets.”
The boxing world is all the time extra fascinating with Tyson Fury in it than out, however most individuals are going to be disenchanted that we’ll be seeing a 3rd Usyk struggle as an alternative of the Anthony Joshua bout we’ve been ready years for. Fury is at present down 0-2 towards Usyk, who has been too quick and slick for the British heavyweight to deal with.
Fury blames the losses on unfair judging in Saudi Arabia, and is hoping somewhat hometown magic will push him excessive within the April trilogy struggle.
“I would like me revenge in England,” he instructed Professional Boxing Followers in Turkey earlier than making the April date announcement. “That’s all I would like. I need a truthful shout, and I don’t imagine I’ve bought a good shout the final two instances. So I don’t know what I’m going to must do as a result of I can’t depart it go to a call, I’m gonna must knock the c—t out.”
The silver lining is that Fury is lastly paying some lip service to preventing Joshua, and acknowledges leaving that one undone could be a disservice to the followers and sport.
“Usyk’s the one I would like, but when I don’t get that, then it’d be Joshua, the most important British struggle that’ll ever occur,” he stated. “And it could break all data, and it could promote out 100,000 at Wembley in an hour, and it’s a struggle that I feel can occur for positive if I resolve to return again and the deal’s proper and all the opposite s—t that goes with it.”
Whereas Fury is already gearing up for Usyk, Usyk should get previous Daniel Dubois for the second time on July nineteenth. A stumble might derail this complete factor: Dubois profitable would activate a rematch clause in Usyk’s contract, making an April 2026 date unlikely.
Ought to all of us eager to see Joshua vs. Fury be praying for a Dubois miracle?
