One of the world’s most famous boxers declares his comeback. Despite several retirements, Tyson Fury still hasn’t had enough.

Former heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury has announced another boxing comeback just a year after retiring. “2026 is the year. Return of the Mac. I’ve been away for a while, but now I’m back,” the 37-year-old Brit wrote on Instagram. The reason? “There’s nothing better than punching men in the face and getting paid for it.”

It’s not the first time for Fury to continue his career. He had already announced the end of his career after his triumph against Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015 and returned to the ring after more than two and a half years. After two losses to reigning world champion Oleksandr Usyk of Ukraine in 2024, Fury retired again.
