"I have to come back": Tyson Fury given ultimatum over Usyk victim superfight

Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) must announce his return to the professional ring if he wants to make a box office fight with Anthony Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs). The Gypsy King, as the Briton is known, announced his retirement earlier this week after suffering two defeats to Oleksandr Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs).

In an interview with Mail Sport, promoter Eddie Hearn, who handles Joshua's affairs, who also lost twice to Usyk, noted that a fight between the two Englishmen could be expected in the summer. At the same time, the head of Matchroom Boxing noted that it would take a lot of time and effort to organize such a large-scale fight at the legendary Wembley Stadium.

"None of us know what Fury will do next, but if we want to see a fight in the summer, he'll probably have to come back within the next three to four weeks. After that, it will be difficult to organize a fight of this magnitude in the summer. I think he will come back, but it's all in his hands. As for Joshua, we have options and we're looking at them now," Hearn said.

It's important to note that Tyson has already announced his retirement twice. In 2017, he announced that he was retiring from boxing after defeating Volodymyr Klychko, and in 2022, he defeated Dillian Whyte (30-3, 20 KOs). After those announcements, Fury returned to the ring a few months later.

Last year, the Briton suffered two defeats from Oleksandr Usyk. In addition, Fury's mysterious words about retirement were revealed.
