If you’ve been following Tyson Fury for a while, you know the drill—he has announced retirement five times in his career. Kind of like Gervonta Davis, who’s made retirement sound more like a vacation than a final farewell. After his rematch loss to Oleksandr Usyk last year, Fury once again hung up his gloves. This time via an Instagram post on January 13th. But let’s be honest, did anyone really believe that was the end? And now, the whispers are getting louder—Tyson Fury might just be lacing it up for another run.
It all started on April 11th, when the Gypsy King began sharing clips from his training sessions again. He’s already back in the gym, throwing punches, working the bag, and looking like a man with unfinished business. Just a day later, he posted a video of himself jogging along the beach in Morecambe, absolutely buzzing. “Love working out, love running. I love every part of it,” he said. “Twice a day, seven days a week.” Sounds like someone’s getting their groove back, right?
So now the question is: are we seeing the comeback trail being paved? Or is this just another chapter in Fury’s love-hate story with boxing? One thing’s for sure—something’s brewing. Earlier today, FTTV Boxing on their X account wrote, “Is the Gypsy King coming back? ” They further wrote, “Tyson Fury is reportedly training twice a day, intensifying rumors of a potential comeback fight against Anthony Joshua. Despite announcing his retirement in January after his rematch loss to Oleksandr Usyk, Fury’s increased training regime, including beach runs in Morecambe, has fans convinced he’s preparing for a mega-money showdown with his British rival.”

Fans are now convinced he’s gearing up for a huge comeback, and the name that keeps popping up? Anthony Joshua. “This comes after Joshua’s team publicly expressed their desire for the fight, which could be worth upwards of £300 million,” the post read.
But the thing is, while the posts are indicating his comeback, his own team seems to be singing a different tune. Promoter Bob Arum? He’s not buying into the hype at all. In fact, he’s betting against it. Speaking to Steve Bunce on the 5 Live Boxing podcast, Arum said he’d put money on Fury never fighting again. “If I was a betting man, I would say he will never fight again.” And he even dropped a classic Marvin Hagler line: “A rich guy who goes to bed wearing silk pajamas doesn’t get up in the morning to do road work.” Simply put, the Top Rank head thinks Tyson Fury’s done with the grind. He’s rich, he’s been through the wars, and he has nothing left to prove. But come on—do we really believe that?
After taking two tough losses to the Ukrainian champion, which ended his 15-year unbeaten streak, what’s better way for the Gypsy King to bounce back than a mega-fight on home soil? A UK showdown with Anthony Joshua isn’t just a money-maker (we’re talking hundreds of millions)—it’s a legacy fight. AJ has revealed it himself: “I want to leave the game with a bang and make an impact.”
And let’s face it—Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua would do exactly that. So yeah, Arum says he’s done. But the training videos say otherwise. But here’s the twist—AJ might have someone else gunning for him, too.
Anthony Joshua’s next move could put the Tyson Fury showdown on ice
With his clash against Fabio Wardley lined up for June, Jarrell Miller was asked what’s next if he gets the win? Naturally, the reporter dropped Anthony Joshua’s name. And that was all Miller needed to go off.
According to him, “I heard his team [AJ’s] say he should stay away from me at all cost.” Miller didn’t sugarcoat it either. He called it fear. “If AJ, you know AJ’s the boss on his side, if he really wants to fight he’ll make a fight happen,” he said. But the real jab? “I think AJ’s such a pu–y nowadays that he don’t want to fight nobody with a heartbeat at this point.”
Now, whether you agree with him or not, one thing’s certain—Miller still wants that smoke with AJ. He thinks he’s the guy to bring the war to Joshua. But here’s the twist: if AJ actually entertains that fight, then a potential Tyson Fury vs. Joshua matchup might have to wait. And let’s be honest, Fury vs. AJ feels like the real blockbuster. That’s the one fans have been craving for years. But hey—it’s boxing, anything can happen, and it usually does.
So what do you think? Should AJ fight Miller? Or hold out for the Gypsy King showdown? So now, if Tyson Fury and AJ finally collide, who takes the crown as Britain’s best heavyweight? Do share your thoughts with us below.
