Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury said he will come out of retirement to fight Oleksandr Usyk for a third time on 18 April 2026 at Wembley Stadium in London. The Briton confirmed the date and venue after Saudi adviser Turki Alalshikh hinted this week that a deal for Furyโs return was close. Fury, 36, has lost twice to the unbeaten Usyk and described the bout as a chance to secure โrevenge in England.โ Should the trilogy collapse, he added, he would pursue an all-British showdown with Anthony Joshua. Usyk, 38, remains the divisionโs dominant figure after consecutive victories over Fury and is scheduled to defend his titles later this month against Daniel Dubois. A sell-out at Wembleyโwhere Fury has headlined beforeโwould likely draw a crowd of around 90,000 and set up one of the sportโs biggest gates in years. Promoters have yet to announce undercard details, but both camps indicated contracts will be finalised once Usyk completes his current obligations.
