The only condition for Tyson Fury’s return to boxing revealed by a close friend

Tyson Fury has set one condition for his coming out of retirement and returning to boxing. The Gypsy King has not fought since his second straight loss to Oleksandr Usyk last December. After losing by split decision last March in Riyad, he lost the rematch by unanimous decision, and Usyk defended his WBA (Super), WBC, WBO and IBO heavyweight belts and remained the undisputed and undefeated king of the division.

Fury, 37, retired three weeks later in January this year and has so far refused to turn back. He has retired once before, returning to the ring in June 2018 to face Sefer Seferi, almost three years after his iconic victory over Wladimir Klitschko in Germany.

Since his departure from boxing, discussions about a trilogy with Usyk have become a topic of discussion, as has the long-awaited blockbuster Battle of Britain with Anthony Joshua. And his good friend Derek Chisora ​​shared what Fury wants if he ever returns to the ring – huge money to fight.

Chisora ​​spent time with Fury in Monaco and revealed: “Tyson is coming back. He wants to fight Usyk. The Gypsy King is coming back, don’t worry about it!

“Usyk’s teams will demand so much money and he already got that much for two fights in Saudi Arabia. The last time I spoke to Usyk he told me he wanted ‘massive money.’

However, it is not only money that is delaying the third meeting between Usyk and Fury in the circle. British heavyweight Fabio Wardley is next in line for a WBO title shot after knocking out Joseph Parker.

The WBO ordered Usyk to defend his belt against Wardley in early 2026. In July, Fury suggested he would fight Usyk at Wembley in April 2026.

However, the WBO’s decision places a huge obstacle to these hopes. His promoter Frank Warren told Sky Sports the same month: “We’ll see [if Fury returns] but he likes this fight [vs Usyk] and he wants this fight, and by the way, it was a close fight.

“Anything can happen in this business, maybe this fight will be possible if Usyk really wants it and Tyson wants to do it. I’m sure there will be an appetite for it.”

Usyk defended his belts by knocking out Daniel Dubois at Wembley in July, but his advisor Serhii Lapin rejected the possibility of a trilogy with Usyk last month: “Serhii Lapin. “Theoretically it’s an compelling option, but for whom?

“If boxing fans really support it, then maybe. But in my opinion, that chapter is now closed.” Usyk, who will turn 39 in January, is currently recovering from a back injury and has stated that he plans to continue boxing until he is 41.

“I train every day. I’m training to enter the ring next year and, with God’s support, win,” the Ukrainian told UNN. “I will box until I am 41. And then I will build a sports academy and I will train there, and I will train there.”

Tyson Fury’s immediate reaction to the fight with Anthony Joshua after signing the contract

Tyson Fury was apparently left speechless when he finally reacted to Anthony Joshua agreeing on the terms of meeting him in the ring. Joshua has signed a multi-fight deal to make his comeback, starting with a fight against little-known Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia on July 25.

If Joshua escapes unscathed, he will face Fury in November, most likely at Wembley, and the fight will be streamed on Netflix. After the announcement, Fury took to social media, posting only an eye emoji in response. The 37-year-old is currently recovering from his own fight against Arslanbek Makhmudov two weeks ago, which Fury won on points.

After the fight, the former Olympic champion urged Joshua to join him in the Tottenham ring, but his rival refused. Fury claimed he had already signed a contract to fight Joshua, with whom he had been on a collision course for a decade.

However, Joshua has yet to do the same, and his rival has made it clear that if the fight falls through, he will retire from the sport for good.

“If it’s not Anthony Joshua next time, I’m not interested in boxing,” Fury insisted. “I’ll eat a thousand Easter eggs, get to 35 stone and leave, I’m not interested. It’s either him or I’m gone again. Right now I’m only interested in AJ. It’s the most significant fight for British boxing; either it happens or it doesn’t.

“He was brought to the ring for a reason, to enter the ring, confront and end the fight,” he added. “He was very evasive and didn’t give any definitive answers.

“I know one thing, he didn’t say yes.” In my opinion, he didn’t want to smoke. He didn’t look like he wanted it, he was just shocked and didn’t know what to say.

“He came to the ring to fight. If it were me, I would jump into that ring and face him. Ten years of preparation and yet, after all this time, there is still no certainty that this fight will be next.”

“I don’t want to set any deadlines. Either he wants to do it or he doesn’t. It’s now or never.”

However, Joshua has now put pen to paper, stating: “It’s no secret that I’ve taken some time to consolidate and rebuild to be ready to get back into the ring, and today is the next step in that journey. I’m delighted to have agreed a multi-fight contract starting on July 25 in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”

“I’m looking forward to competing and picking up where I left off. Like I said, the landlord will collect rent, that’s for sure.”

A boxing match turns into a mass brawl when the boxer’s trainer is taken to the hospital

A professional boxing world championship fight descended into chaos when a massive brawl broke out in the ring. Turkish Emirkhan Kalkhan and Russian Sergei Gorokhov faced off in the Besirli sports hall in the fight for the UBO world championship.

The tension reached a breaking point after the second round when Gorokhov secured victory over his opponent. The Russian was overjoyed and celebrated with his corner team before heading to Kalkhan to seemingly check how he was doing against his opponent.

A member of Kalkhan’s entourage then pushed Gorokhov away, before one of his cornermen lunged to deliver a thrust of his own. The situation quickly got out of control as both teams clashed in corner kicks, with spectators storming the ring to exchange punches and kicks.

Plastic chairs were thrown into the ring as a group of men attacked and kicked Coach Gorokhov. The boxer himself was left stunned as he desperately pleaded for an end to the violence before another group attacked him.

Falling to the canvas, Gorokhov was hit with chairs and subjected to a barrage of kicks before disappearing under a wave of enraged attackers. Meanwhile, a separate clip shows Gorokhov’s cornerback Igor Sudalainen lying on the floor and holding his head as security personnel and some of Kalkhana’s team tried to restore order.

After the incident, Gorokhov posted updates from a nearby hospital on social media. Sharing the message via the stories section of his Instagram account, he said: “Hello everyone. We are currently in hospital in Turkey.

“Ismail [trainer] he suffered a head injury and is currently undergoing an MRI. I got through it the least badly. The gloves helped protect me. Who saw the broadcast? “We were probably attacked by about 80 people.”

“They entered the ring and beat us after our great victory in the second round, where we knocked him out twice. However, the Turks behaved very badly.

“But thank God, everyone is alive. That’s what the fight was like, difficult. I’ll tell you later. We already have a police escort, we’ll go straight from the hotel to our rooms.

“I don’t think we’ll be spending the night there tonight. If anyone tries to pull a stunt, we’ll fly straight to Georgia. Then we’ll drive through Georgia overnight to Mineralnye Vody, and from there to Kaliningrad.”

“Thank you all for your support. We will be in touch. I will tell you everything tomorrow. World champion belt – we have a world champion in Russia, in Kaliningrad, in boxing. It was a very good fight.”

Gorokhov then posted another video on Instagram, confirming that he and his team had safely reached Georgia. He said: “We are in Georgia. We have the belt, we are champions. Thank you very much for your support, friends.”
