Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has confirmed on social media he’ll return to action later this year after another lengthy layoff.
Fury announced on Sunday in an Instagram post that he is returning to boxing in 2026.
He wrote: “2026 is that year. Return of the mac. Been away for a while but I’m back now, 37 years old and still punching. Nothing better to do than punch men in the face and get paid for it.”

Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) was last in action 13 months ago, where he lost an immediate rematch with Oleksandr Usyk for The Ring and unified world titles in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Fury held multiple world heavyweight championships, including unified titles from 2015 to 2016, the Ring magazine title twice between 2015 and 2022, and the World Boxing Council (WBC) title from 2020 to 2024.
He also held the International Boxing Organization (IBO) title during his first reign as champion.
