Return of the mac.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeen away for a while but I\u2019m back now, 37 years old and still punching,\u201d he said. \u201cNothing better to do than punch men in the face and get paid for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before his two bouts with Usyk, Fury was unbeaten in 35 fights, winning 34 and drawing one.<\/p>\n<p>Fury did not mention potential opponents, but his announcement comes after increased speculation about a clash with British rival Joshua in 2026. Joshua, who is also a former world champion, last month knocked out YouTube star Jake Paul. But he was injured in a fatal car crash that killed two of his friends in Nigeria this week, which has resulted in uncertainty over his immediate plans.<\/p>\n<p>Fury is a two-time world champion. He ended the reign of Wladimir Klitschko with a points win in 2015 that saw him crowned Super WBA, IBF and WBO champion.<\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t fight again until 2018 \u2013 but a thrilling trilogy with American Deontay Wilder resulted in a draw and two victories for him to claim the WBC title.<\/p>\n<p>Fury previously said he was retiring after he beat Dillian Whyte in 2022, but was back in the ring the following year.<\/p>\n<p>A fight with Joshua has long been anticipated. There is also the potential of a trilogy-capping fight with Usyk or a clash with WBO champion Fabio Wardley.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Been away for a while but I\u2019m back now, 37 years old and still punching,\u2019 Fury said in a post announcing his return.
