Recently, Fury stated on one of the destinations of his countrywide tour, “It’s all about money, Mr. Businessman; he’s not a fighting man. I swear to God I hope he wins the fight against Usyk so that I can come out of retirement and fight him for free. However, the terms are these; I want it at Wembley stadium. I want it free to enter and I want it on free-to-air in television in this country. I’ll fight him in England, not abroad in a foreign country for more money; here for free for the people.”

The British boxer apparently raised his followers’ expectations by declaring his return to the sport. There is a stipulation, though. He continued by saying that as a boxer, he would do anything for his followers. And if it takes place at Wembley Stadium and the British public is given free admission, he is willing to face Anthony Joshua. The champion’s return is already garnering massive media attention. Only time will tell if he returns or not.
