Tyson Fury has set his sights on revenge against Oleksandr Usyk or an all-British showdown with Anthony Joshua after confirming he will make his return to boxing in 2026.

It comes as Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority, took to social media yesterday to reveal Fury had informed him he will make his comeback next year after stepping away from the sport.

Fury announced he had retired from boxing in January earlier this year, one month on from his unanimous decision defeat to Usyk in the pair's heavyweight rematch.

The 36-year-old has since teased a return by posting footage of him back in the gym alongside trainer SugarHill Steward.

Fury told Boxing News, while in attendance at the IBA Pro Event in Istanbul, he wants a fair shot as he believes he did not get a fair shot the last two times.

He says he cannot let it go to a decision.

He further says he wants to take on Usyk, but if he does not get it, then it will be Joshua, and this will be the biggest British boxing fight to ever happen.

He adds it would break all records, and it would sell out 100,000 at Wembley in an hour, and it's a fight he thinks can happen, if he did decide to come back and the deal was right.

Usyk is currently gearing up to face IBF heavyweight world champion Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium on July 19, with Fury seemingly uninterested in a prospective meeting with the Londoner.
