🥊 Tyson Fury says he is coming out of retirement again, announcing what he describes as his fifth comeback 1. Multiple reports say he is returning after about 15 months away from the ring 5.
Fury tied the timing to a tragedy involving long-time rival Anthony Joshua, saying the deaths of two of Joshua’s close friends in a car crash pushed him to act now instead of waiting 351. Fury is scheduled to fight Arslanbek Makhmudov on 11 April at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium 5.
London, United Kingdom
