Eddie Hearn: “Tyson Fury is still in his prime”

Matchroom Boxing chief Eddie Hearn shared his thoughts on the ring return of Britain’s former world champion Tyson Fury.

“I guess on one hand, you want to prepare yourself for a challenge against an elite guy. And on the other hand, you're coming back after a long layoff. You maybe don't want too much of a taxing challenge.

I know some of the names that are in the mix, and I'll leave that to Turki [Al-Sheikh] and Tyson Fury to mention those guys. We've got guys that would be up for the challenge.

But, on the whole, great to see him back. He's gone from not really posting on social media to every time I pick up my phone, there's a new Tyson Fury story.

And by the way, he's still in his prime. He lost two very close fights to Oleksandr Usyk It's not like, 'oh, he's finished now'.

So yeah, great to see him back. It'd be interesting to see who he faces. I think they're talking potentially around April time,” Hearn said.

In 2024 Tyson Fury (34-2-1, 24 KOs) lost twice to Oleksandr Usyk on the scorecards and announced his retirement. In January 2026, Fury confirmed he is coming back to the ring.
