In the message that Tyson Fury returns, the president of the International Boxing Association Umar Kremlev suggested that he would be a former heavyweight champion to Moscow for one lucrative last fight. Turki Alalshikh, chairman of the general entertainment authority of Saudi Arabia, took on Wednesday to social media to announce that Fury informed him that he would return to sport next year after months of speculation.

The rumors about who the Fury can face is now in Overdrive after he announced his retirement from boxing in January this year, a month after the second defeat from Oleksandr Usyk. However, Kremlev, who welcomed Fury in Istanbul in Turkey, to the Golden Era event this week, took the opportunity to submit a bizarre offer for a 36-year fight in IBA-Z fighting for the title of IBA hefty weight also the possibility. To realize this, Kremlev even offered Fury and his family to apply a luxury private aircraft.

“We would like to bring Tyson to Moscow,” Kremlev said. “We would like to fight for you [Fury] – Farewell, as a king of boxing. One last, pretty fight for goodbye. You started your career in IBA, so you need to finish your career in IBA. “

He continued: “Just give me a date and you can take your team and family with you. We’ll send a jet to pick you up and take you. We don’t have bears walking around [in Moscow] – Despite the misunderstandings of people – so bring your family and your team. “

Tyson, present with his manager Spencer Brown, seemed willing to make Kremlev’s offer. “I was supposed to go (to Russia) four years ago,” said Fury.

“I was to go to the red square with fur in winter with snow before I went to a party in Recent Zealand. I film a reality show with Netflix, [so] It would be very good to see Russia on television around the world – 500 million, a billion people – very good for relationships … So you give us an offer, you talk to Spencer. “

Alalshikh stunned the boxing world when he started to X to announce the return of Fury. He also suggested that Fury would shoot at Usyk, using the term “rabbit”-a fury to describe her 38-year-old rival.

Alalshikh wrote: “Gypsy King” will come back !!! I talked to him and I have his word to have him in the Riyada season in 2026. We have a rabbit for hunting! “

Fury also irritated back, publishing training films at the gym. It seems that the fans will now get their wish, because Fury has set his view on the third clash from Usyk and the long -awaited clash with Anthony Joshua, if the first one does not happen.

“Who would I prefer to fight now” I want my forthright scream and I don’t believe that I have fair screams for the last twice. I don’t know what to do because I can’t let me make my decision.

“It’s the one I want, but if I don’t get it, it will be [Anthony] Joshua, the greatest British boxing struggle that will ever happen. It would stop all records and would sell 100,000 in Wembley in an hour and it is a fight that could happen if I decided to come back and the contract was appropriate. “

Usyk is preparing to face the IBF world champion Daniel Dubois at the Wembley stadium this month. But Fury has only eyes to Ukrainian, probably rejecting the threat that Dubois can pose.

“If I came back, hypothetically, if I were to return and box Daniel Dubois, a glove would not land on me, it would be one-sided beating,” said Fury. “I wish you good luck in the fight with Usyk, but styles are fighting, and his style and my style do not gel. I attach him.”

After retiring, this will not be Fury’s first attempt to box. Earlier he hung his gloves in April 2022. After defeating Dillian Whyte, only to come back six months later to face Derek Chisora.

Oleksandr Usyk defended his world title in Riyad, defeating kickboxing icon Rico Verhoeven in the 11th round.

Verhoeven turned out to be a much tougher test for Usyk than many expected.

From the first bell, the Dutchman proved to be a problem, firing two tidy shots – one from above straight into the champion’s jaw, and the other a nasty shot to the body.

To the surprise of many, Verhoeven dominated most of the fight, with many viewers scoring just two or three rounds in favor of the Ukrainian.

Not only was Verhoeven in control, but he appeared to have hurt Usyk on numerous occasions, who looked nothing like the elusive champion we had become so accustomed to over the years.

Verhoeven went down in the 11th minute and went over the count before the referee led him to the corner to adjust his mouthpiece.

Ten seconds into the penultimate round, Usyk launched a brutal attack that injured Verhoeven, but he continued to fight. Nevertheless, the referee stepped in at 2:59 of the 11th round and called off the fight.

Many were outraged by the stoppage, with Derek Chisora ​​calling it a “assault” and Ryan Garcia believing the round was already over by the time the referee stepped in.

In an in-ring interview after his victory, Usyk admitted that his opponent was right.
