Tyson Fury’s Return Hints: A Promising Comeback?
Boxing legend Tyson Fury has once again hinted at his potential return from retirement, reigniting speculation about the 37-year-old’s future in the ring. On social media, Fury posted a message that read, “The king must return to his throne.” This statement has sent shockwaves through the boxing community, who remember his previous retirements and subsequent returns.
Fury’s Retirement History
Tyson Fury’s career is marked by a series of dramatic events, including multiple retirements and comebacks. The most recent retirement came after he lost to Oleksandr Usyk in an undisputed world heavyweight title fight last December. Despite declaring his boxing days over in January 2025, the controversial statement was short-lived as Fury announced his return on Sunday, December 7, 2025.
The Return: A Tease or a Reality?
Fury’s latest post on social media has been accompanied by an image of him sitting on what appears to be a throne. The message underscores the boxer’s confidence and his belief that he still holds a special place in boxing history. “There is a long & lonely road that only I can walk on, but after the long & hard battles awaits immortality!” Fury wrote.
His UK promotional team, Queensberry, also echoed this sentiment by posting the same quote alongside the throne image. This move has left many fans and boxing analysts wondering if this is a serious hint at a comeback or just another of Fury’s playful social media antics.
Potential Matchups
Anthony Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, remains optimistic about a potential rematch between the two heavyweight giants. Speaking in October 2025, Hearn revealed that Fury is a competitor who should be open to facing Anthony Joshua again if he returns. “I believe Fury is a competitor and that fight is on a plate for him now,” Hearn stated. “So there’s no excuses. The only excuse is I just don’t want to do it anymore. And that’s absolutely valid.” Hearn’s comments highlight the ongoing interest in a potential match, with Fury returning as an opponent he has spoken about with Joshua.
