Tyson Fury recently made headlines confirming a return to the ring, but not against Anthony Joshua.
Joshua and Fury have been linked to fight over the last decade but a long overdue showdown still alludes them.
Fury has been trained by Sugar Hill Steward since 2019.
Some notable performances under Steward includes victories over Deontay Wilder and Dillian Whyte.
The American trainer was also part of Fury’s corner team for his clash against Oleksandr Usyk where ‘The Gypsy King’ endured the first loss of his career.
The Ukrainian dominated Fury once again in December 2024 in their rematch, a loss which sent the Manchester man into retirement.
With Fury set to return in 2026 he spoke to Pro Boxing Fans and confirmed he is set to stay under the watch of Steward, despite back to back losses.
“Yes.”
Fury was expected to come back to boxing for a British mega fight against Joshua in which would be the biggest clash the country has ever seen, promoter Eddie Hearn claimed this when speaking to Pro Boxing Fans.
The 46-year-old plead with Fury to return to make the mega fight against Joshua, who is also set to return without an opponent named yet.
Fury instead stated he wanted to fight Usyk, in a trilogy many didn’t want to see.
‘The Gypsy King’ feels he was hard done by both times in Saudi Arabia so seeks a ‘fair’ fight in Wembley Stadium next year.
He did however explain how a fight with Joshua could be made if the Usyk clash doesn’t materialise.
“If I don’t get that, then it would be Joshua, the biggest British fight that will ever happen, it would break records, and it would sell out 100,000 in an hour.
“It’s a fight that I think can happen for sure if I decide to come back and the deal is right.”
It is clear Fury understands how monumental the Joshua fight would be, touching on record breaking attendances but still seems set on a fight with ‘The Cat’.
Usyk is set to return to the ring this weekend in a rematch with Daniel Dubois so it is unlikely any concrete talks have taken place with Fury.
