The career of Tyson Fury Pousik turned this week in Istanbul, when he appeared with the head of Iba Umara Kremleva-sublicing the conversation about the final fight in Moscow.

His appearance caused speculation about the future fight under the IBA banner, despite the previous announcement that he would fight Oleksandr Usyk on April 18, 2026.

Tyson Fury appears during the Golden Era event

Fury, to which the longtime manager of Spencer Brown joined, came to the Turkish capital last week to head the growing world of boxing.

But in addition to speeches and smiles, a deeper conversation about the next steps of Fury – and potentially the last chapter – began to shape.

“We are glad that we see you here, supporting and promoting boxing,” Kremlev said, welcoming fury as an honorary guest. “Boxing is for peace. We are for peace.”

The heavyweight icon, which retired after losing in a fraction from Usyk in December 2024, praised the IBA mission and suggested that more moves would come.

“This is a great event. When you see all these warriors and special people, it attracts many eyes to boxing,” said Fury. “Boxing connects people.”

IBA proposes the final fight in Moscow

Brown went a step further, combining the potential of sport with unity supporting the geopolitical tension.

“Everything that happens between Russia and Ukraine, these things can combine people very quickly.”

Kremlev, whose comments often turn to the long goal of IBA, which is global inclusiveness, did not hesitate to plant the grain for the future, expanding the bold invitation to Fury to the last professional fight under IBA jurisdiction.

“We would like to fight for you professionally – farewell as a king of boxing,” Kremlev said. “You started your career in IBA, so you need to finish your career in IBA.”

The Russian official also expanded the open invitation to Fury and his family to visit Moscow as his guests.

“We’ll send a jet to pick you up. We don’t have a walk of bears – despite the misunderstandings of people,” Kremlev joked, laughing.

Fury answered in nature, adding that his wish list had a trip to Russia

“I was supposed to go four years ago,” said Fury. “For a red square, with fur in winter, before he sets out to a party in Novel Zealand.”

The former champion then headed for his Netflix Reality series: “It would be very good to see Russia on television around the world – 500 million, a billion people – very good for relationships.”

Fury’s comments, though in love with the eye, were renounced with real openness, especially in his Netflix series, where he formulated future journeys as Gold PR.

“You give us an offer. You say with Spencer!”

“The story has not yet ended,” added Brown. “You [Kremlev] They come at the end of the story – but it doesn’t end. “

“I joined you on time!” Kremlev laughed before he wrapped up with the final support: “Of all the heavyweight categories, Tyson is the most talented.

“I have great respect for those who invest their soul and talent in this sport.”

Whether this exchange becomes the last chapter of Fury or just another stop in the global vortex of Postyki policy, it will just be seen.

But one thing is clear: Iba sees the king who is worth crowning again.
