Tyson’s retirement against Dillian Whyte after wowing the entire Wembley Stadium last year was a bit odd for almost all boxing fans. Fury’s biggest bout at hand and possibly his career would be a potential matchup with AJ. Fury turning down that opportunity was very puzzling. However, it turns out that Fury is ready to come out of his short retirement.

Recently Fury has been in talks with the camp of Derek Chisora for a potential trilogy fight. The Gypsy King wants to make history by being the first heavyweight champion to fight two trilogies. Though Fury has his history wrong, the fighter believes a trilogy against Chisora is the right thing for him to do while Usyk and Joshua battle it out.
