  • Former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury announced his return to boxing.
  • Fury plans to fight Mariusz Wach on July 24 in Thailand as a warm-up for a potential match against Anthony Joshua.
  • He expressed his determination to reclaim the world title, stating, 'Nobody can stop me.'

Tyson Fury, the former heavyweight champion known as the 'Gypsy King,' has officially announced his return to the boxing ring with a clear ambition: to reclaim the world title. This declaration follows his recent victory over Arslanbek Mahmudov in April, which marked his first fight after a hiatus of over a year. That break came after his second consecutive loss to Ukrainian star Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury is scheduled to step back into the ring on July 24th in Thailand, facing Polish boxer Mariusz Wach. Fury himself described this upcoming bout as a "warm-up fight" in preparation for a highly anticipated, long-awaited showdown against fellow Briton Anthony Joshua.

The boxing landscape has seen shifts, with Oleksandr Usyk vacating his heavyweight titles to pursue new challenges. Fabio Wardley, previously a full WBO champion, lost his belt to Daniel Dubois. Agit Kabayel now holds the WBC belt and is preparing for his first defense, while Moses Itauma and Filip Hrgoviฤ‡ are set to compete for contender status.

Fury, through an X post, conveyed his renewed commitment and confidence. "Gypsy King is back, and I mean business to take the crown again," he declared. "Nobody can stop me. I am the one. God blessed me. Let's go, baby."

Turki, tu sam, brate. Naporno radim. โ€˜Big Macโ€™ se vraฤ‡a kako bi ponovno preuzeo krunu. Nitko me ne moลพe zaustaviti. Ja sam taj. Bog me blagoslovio. Idemo, baby.
