Frank Warren confirms Tyson Fury intends to pursue a third fight with Oleksandr Usyk following a return to the ring.
Fury is scheduled to face Arslanbek Makhmudov in the United Kingdom on April 11.
Following consecutive losses to Usyk in 2024, Fury retired early in 2025. He recently retracted that decision to pursue a third world heavyweight title.
Fury used Instagram to announce the April date with Makhmudov.
Fabio Wardley now holds the WBO heavyweight title, which provides Fury with alternative opportunities if the Usyk match does not materialize.
The heavyweight category remains active with several upcoming bouts. Moses Itauma faces Jermaine Franklin on March 28 as he attempts to establish himself as a top contender.
Fury must first defeat the 260 pound Makhmudov. By the time they meet, Fury will have spent nearly two years away from professional competition.
Would you like me to analyze the tactical risks Fury faces against Makhmudov after this two year layoff?
