Tyson Fury is contemplating a comeback to the boxing ring, with the highly anticipated heavyweight unification bout between Daniel Dubois and Oleksandr Usyk at Wembley serving as a pivotal moment in Fury’s future plans. Fresh from recent challenges against Usyk, Fury is eyeing a trilogy fight with the Ukrainian next April while also considering a match against Dubois, who is promoted by Frank Warren, the same manager Fury works with.
Warren has expressed concerns about pitting two of his own fighters against each other, commenting, “It is not a fight I’d like to see for obvious reasons.” Despite this, the possibility of a matchup between Fury and Dubois stirs excitement among fans, especially given their previous sparring sessions and playful banter. In response, Fury projected his confidence, stating, “If I were to return and face Daniel Dubois, I’d demolish him. He wouldn’t land a single punch.” Despite their shared experience in sparring, Fury maintains that their styles do not align, asserting, “It would be a one-sided beating.”
Dubois has emerged as a formidable contender, having captured the IBF world title through a surprising knockout of Anthony Joshua in 2025. Nevertheless, despite Dubois holding the IBF belt, Fury has dismissed the idea of challenging him for it, expressing a preference for vying over the British title instead. “I would rather fight him for the British title,” Fury remarked, revealing his disdain for the IBF belt, stating he would “probably burn it on YouTube.” His aversion to the IBF title is rooted in his past, having been stripped of it in December 2015.
Dubois, at 27 years old, remains eager for a showdown, confident that Fury’s return to the ring is likely, notably with multiple titles at stake. “I think he’ll come back,” Dubois commented. “He’ll fancy it once all the titles are on the table. That’s the kind of mega fight we need in the heavyweight division.” As Fury continues to flirt with the idea of returning, Dubois and fans alike share a collective hope that the heavyweight division will soon see intensified action between these two notable fighters.
