JAKARTA - British boxer and former WBC world champion Tyson Fury remembers his two defeats against Oleksandr Usyk two years ago ahead of his big plans to return to the boxing ring this year.
Fury, who retired after his last duel against Usyk, decided to return to the ring earlier this year. He is now looking for an opponent for a comeback fight and there is a possibility of arranging a trilogy with Usyk.
"I didn't get the results I wanted in the last two fights. Oleksandr Usyk got the better of me. That's a life lesson," Tyson Fury said via social media.
Fury previously announced his retirement in January 2025 after losing two consecutive matches to Usyk. He then returned a year later to pursue the heavyweight world championship belt again.
Fury had a harsh criticism after losing his second match against Usyk. He judged that the Ukrainian fighter benefited from the jury's decision, but in his latest statement he admitted that he had accepted the result.
"Everything is God's plan and time. I'm grateful to still be in this position and preparing for a big comeback," he said.
Fury is scheduled to face Russian boxer Arslanbek Makhmudov on April 11, 2026, but the location of the match has not been determined. The duel is a warm-up for a bigger match.
The Gypsy King plans to fight fellow countryman Anthony Joshua, who will usurp the status of the best heavyweight in Great Britain.
In addition, he is also likely to aim for a trilogy against Usyk. If he manages to hold the heavyweight belt again then the possibility is very open.
Currently, Usyk is also looking for his next fight before deciding to retire. He originally wanted to fight Deontay Wilder, but the American fighter instead accepted a contract with Derek Chisora.
