Tyson Fury sort de sa retraite : le choc Joshua comme élément déclencheur

At 37, the "Gypsy King" is back. Tyson Fury has officially announced his return to the ring, and against all odds, it was a tragic event involving his longtime rival, Anthony Joshua , that served as the catalyst for his decision.

The Nigerian shock

While he seemed to have definitively hung up his gloves after his defeats against Oleksandr Usyk at the end of 2024, Fury reconsidered his position following the car accident that claimed the lives of Anthony Joshua last December in Nigeria. Although Joshua escaped with minor injuries, the tragedy claimed the lives of his physical trainer, Sina Ghami, and his coach, Latif Ayodele.

"What tipped the scales in my decision was the tragedy that befell Anthony Joshua. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone," Fury said at a press conference on Monday.

A comeback to "save" boxing

Beyond this existential realization, the former two-time world heavyweight champion displays a clear ambition: to restore the image of a sport that he considers to be losing momentum.

  1. The goal: "To restore boxing to its former glory."
  2. The observation: According to him, the discipline has become "boring" in his absence.
  3. The date: Fury will face the powerful Arslanbek Makhmudov on April 11th in London.
