Tyson Fury has given his thoughts on a potential all-British fight against Anthony Joshua during an interview ahead of Daniel Dubois and Oleksandr Usyk’s undisputed clash.
Fury, 36, has not fought since sustaining a second consecutive defeat to Usyk, 38, in Saudi Arabia in December 2024.
Then, in January 2025, the self-proclaimed ‘Gypsy King’ announced his retirement from the sport in a video posted to his social media channels.
In the clip, he said: "Hi everybody, I'm going to make this short and sweet, I'd like to announce my retirement from boxing. It's been a blast. I've loved every single minute of it."

However, he could be set to make a U-turn. Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh posted an ominous message on X earlier this month, which nodded towards a potential return for Fury.
He wrote: "The 'Gypsy King' will be back!!! I talked with him, and I have his word to have him in Riyadh Season in 2026 ... We have a rabbit to hunt!"
It is still unclear if, when or who Fury will face if he does indeed return to action, but the obvious contenders are Usyk, Dubois and long-time foe Joshua.

Usyk and Dubois’ next steps will be heavily influenced by tonight’s result, but Joshua has already made his feelings clear on potentially facing Fury.
In January, Joshua said: "It's a fight I want to see because I am a fan of boxing. When I am in the gym, everyone is asking me [about this fight]. I ain't got many years ahead of me. I want to leave the game with a bang and make an impact.
"Everyone is asking me the same question. It's up to me to deliver; that's why I'm saying it has to happen this year.

"I think we can make this fight happen."
Joshua is currently recovering from surgery on his elbow. As for Fury, he has returned to the media spotlight this week and spoke to Ring Magazine on Saturday.
Fury said: “He's coming off a spectacular knockout to a local kid and I'm coming off a debatable decision to the undisputed champion.
"It's good to give the fans what they want, but is it really worth my health?

“I go to these events and see some of these old-time champions, and some of them get lost in the bathroom, and I don’t want to be like that.”
