Tyson Fury might step back into the ring for one last fight. The former WBC ruler has hinted at a possible return to face Oleksandr Usyk for a third time.
Fury hung up his gloves in early January, just weeks after losing to Usyk for the second time in a row. But now, it looks like 'The Gypsy King' isn't quite ready to call it quits for good.
In a recent Instagram post, Fury fired shots at Usyk, saying:
"Beat the f***er two times and the world knows the truth. Anytime, any place sucker. UK next time, 100k people."
This statement suggests Fury's keen to settle the score with Usyk. He's looking to bring the fight to UK soil and fill a stadium with 100,000 fans.
Fury's record against Usyk stands at two losses. Their first clash ended with Usyk winning by split decision, with a key moment being Fury's standing eight count in the ninth round. The rematch was a close affair, but Usyk came out on top again with a unanimous decision.
Usyk's achievements can't be understated. He's the only man to beat Fury in the professional ring and became the first undisputed champion since Lennox Lewis. Right now, Usyk's got his sights set on a rematch with Daniel Dubois on July 19, aiming to become a two-time undisputed world heavyweight champion.
Fury's retirement disappointed many fans who were hoping for an all-British showdown with Anthony Joshua. But this isn't the first time Fury has stepped away from boxing only to return. His track record suggests he finds it hard to stay away from the ring for long.
As things stand, Fury seems ready to lace up the gloves one more time. Whether Usyk will take him up on the offer remains to be seen. For now, boxing fans can only wait and hope for this heavyweight trilogy to materialize.
