    If Fury took a come back seriously trained and got in top shape. His first fight back could be Wardley? I fight if he was on his A game, should be winnable by out boxing. This could then lead to a Uysk 3 fight for a unification. Which the fans may then have more appetite for. An in shape fully focused Fury is the only fighter at present that can push Uysk?

    If Joshua retires he won't come back. He's not fighting Wardley.

    I have heard rumours of a fight with Chisora "The Final Reckoning". Ought to be incredibly exciting.

    Fury coming back is not a good idea; he is 38 this year, has already been in several wars that have shaved years off his career, not to mention the way he balloons between fights. Not sure what route he takes. Nobody wants to see Usyk smash him again; the younger guns like Wardley and Itauma would obliterate him now, I think. Maybe one last payday against AJ and then retire - if there's no AJ, then no point coming out of retirement, he's made a boatload of money, so what's the point?

    He can't.

    I mean he literally, physically, biologically cannot. Too much wear and tear from ballooning up and down in weight has probably damaged him on a physiological level. Throw cocaine and alcohol in the mix and the body simply can't do what you are describing.

    His top shape now is probably well below his top shape even a year ago. Time is not his friend.

    Even if AJ calls it a day and understandably so. I could see Fury fighting again.

    Will probably have his typical tune up against Makhmudov then maybe fight either Wardley or Dubois.

    I see Fury carrying on for years and ending up with a record like Chisora; his ego won't allow him to call it a day, even as he slides down the rankings.

    If he comes back he does not fight anyone dangerous under 35, that counts out the likes of Dubois or Wardley.

    He will be angling for Usyk or Chisora in my opinion. Those are the two most likely fights out there for him.

    nah, imo he’s different to chisora in that he actually made it to the top of the tree and made a significant amount more ££££££ too, I’m sure he’ll return if Joshua does, if Joshua calls it a day I think it’s less likely but still possible but I don’t see him dragging it out like chisora
