Fury’s Return to the Ring
The announcement of Fury’s upcoming fight comes after a period of uncertainty regarding his career. The 37-year-old former unified world champion had originally retired from boxing in January 2025.

Given the circumstances, many wondered if this would be a permanent decision.
