“I will return to my throne” In 2026 – Can he still win?

Tyson Fury talks about wanting to return to his “throne” in addition to the heavyweight division. At 37, it’s now or never for ‘The Gyspy King’ Fury to return to the ring if he wants to take advantage of the youth he still has.

Retired former two-time heavyweight champion Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) has spent the last year licking his emotional wounds and still believes he has earned wins in his two fights against Oleksandr Usyk.

AJ & Usyk Paydays

If Fury returns to the ring in 2026, there is a gold mine he can enjoy by fighting back-to-back fights against Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk. It doesn’t matter if he loses both; the money he will make will be colossal. His net worth is currently estimated at $160 million.

Money motivation

If Tyson is ambitious, he could fight three times in 2026 and increase his net worth to potentially half a billion. He would be this generation’s John D. Rockefeller.

“The king must return to his throne,” former two-time heavyweight champion Tyson Fury said via Sky Sports about returning to the ring in 2026.

“There is a long and lonely road on which only I can walk, but after the long and hard battles we await immortality!”

Weight is the key

To improve his chances of victory, Fury needs to cut down to the mid-240s, which is what he weighed when he upset Wladimir Klitschko in his younger days in 2015. In Tyson’s last two fights, he weighed 262 pounds and 281 pounds, respectively.

At those weights he was too slow and too hard to do much against Usyk. He looked like a big, slow-moving bear, and that wasn’t going to work against the nimble-footed Oleksandr.

Hearn wants it bad

Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn is keen to launch the ‘Battle of Britain’ in 2026, telling Sky Sport: “I believe Fury is a contender and that fight is now on the table for him.”

Hearn is campaigning for the Fury vs. Joshua fight since he first signed AJ in 2013. Now, 12 years later, he’s still desperate to make this one happen. It is up to Fury whether he wants to risk his pride and ego by facing Joshua to find out which of the two is the better fighter.
