Tyson Fury has said he will fight Oleksandr Usyk in the third fight of their trilogy, taking place at Wembley Stadium in April.
Fury, who retired for the second time in January 2025, announced on social media that a blockbuster third fight between the two heavyweights will take place on April 18, 2026.
The fight has not been officially confirmed by either fighter's camps.
Fury and Usyk first fought in May 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with the Ukrainian defeating Fury by split decision. The rematch also took place in Riyadh in December, with Usyk this time taking home a unanimous decision victory.
A month after the fight, the second loss of Fury's career, he retired from boxing.
Usyk is currently preparing to face British heavyweight Daniel Dubois at Wembley on July 19.
Leading Saudi sports promoter Turki Alalshikh also insisted that Tyson Fury would fight again in 2026, a day before Fury took to social media to announce his return.
"The 'Gypsy King' will be back!" he wrote on X.
"I talked with him, and I have his word to have him in Riyadh Season in 2026. We have a rabbit to hunt!"
Fury recently spoke at an IBA Pro Event in Istanbul and revealed he once again has his sights set on Usyk, who he repeatedly called a 'rabbit' in the build-up to their first two fights.

"I might come back," he said. "It's the first time I've been around a boxing event for six months. It's good to be back in the boxing game.
"Everybody wants to fight me, because I'm the cash cow, unfortunately for me. I'm not a cheap person. Everything's expensive. I've got expensive tastes.
"If I did come back, hypothetically speaking, if I was to return and I was to box Daniel Dubois, I would box his ears off. He wouldn't land a glove on me. It would be a one-sided beat down."

He continued: "Who would I rather fight, right now? Usyk. Because I want my revenge, in England.
"That's all I want; I want a fair shout and I don't believe I've got a fair shout the last two times. So I don't know what I'm going to have to do, because it can't go to a decision.
"That's the one I want, but if don't get that, then it would be Joshua, the biggest British fight that would ever happen.
"It would break all records and it would sell out 100,000 at Wembley in an hour. It's a fight that I think that can happen, for sure, if I do decide to come back."
