    As a boxing fan?? Do you feel it's good or bad for the sport?
    For me, I wish he would stay retired. I'm tired of the whole Fury drama - and have been for years. There was a brief time (around Wilder 1 and 2) where I think he was exciting and doing good things in boxing. But the delaying of key fights, having pointless fights and all the endless talk ... He's outstayed his welcome in the sport. Things have moved on and the division is better for it.

    He has never been retired in the first place.

    It's hardly a return, he fought 7 months ago ffs. By Keith Thurman standards he's still having a fight every other week.

    After someone has "retired" 4 times already, when they retire for a 5th time you take with a pinch of salt.

    As long as Fury faces an elite level opponent or top prospect no issue with the return. If he tries to sell us some Sefer Seferi bull**** then I won't be interested.

    Fury has moved to a fight once per year model of activity, and no one was buying that the 5th retirement of his career was legitimate.

    Only once he he gets to the stage where he is getting sprayed around all over the canvas, or only being offered peanuts for his next fight, will we genuinely start believing he is going to retire.

    Probably prefer he remained retired but can't see how it can be bad for the sport. That's a very strange thing for someone to suggest.

    Well I’m not interested in another Usyk, Chisora or Wilder fight.

    As long as he fights AJ, Kabayel, even Parker then yeah, why not?

    No strong feeling either way

    If he comes back for Joshua, Kabayel or Dubois then I’d be down to watch

    Anyone else and I won’t particularly care

    Usy is very not feel about this. He wants no part of a 3rd fight with the Furious One. And understandably so to some extent, given that he already beat the man twice. But both were competitive and dramatic enough to justify a 3rd fight. I would like to see it because I believe that Fury is capable of beating him, even though he was unable to do so 2x, it doesn't mean he couldn't in a 3rd fight. And the question becomes who in the HW division is going to give Usyk a tougher test then the Furious one? If the fans want to see a 3rd fight I'm all for it but I think Usy knows how tough it would be to beat him a 3rd time and would naturally want to avoid it.
