JAKARTA - After announcing his retirement from boxing in April, Tyson Fury has changed course and is now planning to return to the ring.

The heavyweight champion, who last beat Dillian Whyte by technical knockout four months ago, made clear in a series of social media posts that he preferred to fight fellow Briton Derek Chisora.

The two boxers have fought twice before, with Fury winning both fights.

"I decided to return to boxing because I was able to become the first heavyweight world champion in history to have two trilogies, one with Deontay Wilder and one with Derek Chisora," Fury said.

"I always said I would fight Derek Chisora ​​at the end of my career and here we are, breaking all records again and setting a precedent."

Tyson Fury's retirement lasts only four months

Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) previously criticized Chisora ​​on Instagram, accusing the 38-year-old of "running away" from a trilogy fight after he defeated her in a 2011 bout and 2014 rematch.

"You're running, Derek, from the trilogy," said Fury.

"You call yourself war, you should call yourself a coward."

Meanwhile, Chisora ​​(33-12, 23 KOs), who recently ended a three-game losing streak with a split decision win over Kubrat Pulev last month, responded on Twitter by telling Fury to "send [him] the paperwork" for that fight.

According to ESPN's Mike Coppinger, the event is planned for December at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

Fury revealed on Twitter that he will be trained by training partner Isaac Lowe for the fight.

Four months ago, Fury announced his retirement, although few believed it would actually be the end of his boxing career.

In fact, his credibility was in doubt to the point that the World Boxing Council (WBC) did not remove his championship belt, assuming that sooner or later he would return to the ring.

And rightly so. Gypsy King is back.
