    He's gonna fight a bunch of bums and old washed names and then call out Usyk when he retires and claim Usyk is ducking him.

    It would be good if he comes back focused and dedicated. If it is a half ass money grab, then just stay retired.

    If he picks the right fights, I am happy.

    1. ONE tune-up is acceptable. My suggestion is Andy Ruiz, who is a shell of whatever it is he once was, but someone like Hysa or David Allen is acceptable FOR ONE FIGHT ONLY

    2. Joshua. This is the fight everyone wants to see, whether they admit it or not.

    3. If he beats Joshua, he can go from there.

    -NO jumping in line. No one wants to see a third Usyk right right now.

    -No calling out the best while fighting a series of guys line Schwarz or Seferi. Allen or Hysa is acceptable, BUT NOT BOTH.

    -No Derrick Chisora 4 (this needs to be said)

    -No Ngannaou rematch or performative match with Thor, or whatever

    - No WBA regular title, as has been suggested, as this is a meaningless belt.

    Until he's not a champion, it won't be bad for the sport. If he becomes the king again and starts to hold the championship hostage like he did between 2022 and 2024, it will be bad for boxing.

    I'm interested in any competitive fights.

    But it's all the other **** with Fury that is so wearing and boring. The weekly 'big announcements', the delusional trash talking...etc etc.

    Imo we're in a very weak era for heavyweights. Recently we've seen the deterioration of all the big hitters.

    Not overly interested but only because I hate all the bull**** and circus that is involved whenever fury fights. I know some people love that stuff though.
    I’m sure my interest would peak if he were coming back to fight someone decent.

    I would be interested in watching him against Joshua, Dubois, Kabayel, and maybe Zhang. I’m not interested in watching him fight Pulev’s corpse and Usyk. He will want to do the latter so I would rather he stayed retired.

    I like it. I think he’s good to watch, entertaining and genuinely skilled. Realistically he would still be a favourite against nearly all the current top 10.

    Joshua or nothing for me. I can't stand the guy really.

    Fo depends on what this return is supposed to look like. For now, it looks like Fury has figured out that he will come back and get the most lucrative fight that can be organized for him in the heavyweight division, even though he does not deserve it at all.
    Fury has lost to Usyk twice. He is no longer the lineal champion, he does not have any belts and there is no reason for Usyk to confront him again.
    Tyson's last big win in a sensible and important fight was a win over Dillian Whyte and that was in 2022...
    Fury cannot forever revel in the past. He already blocked the movement in hw once with Wilder, who, losing only to him, artificially held on to the position of the top 3 or sometimes even 2, which was not true.

    If Fury is going to come back just to earn a lot of money for a fight with No. 1 without risking anything, then let him **** off. Fury should take the fight he's been avoiding his entire career with AJ at this point to close the subject of who's closer to No. 2 of this HW era after the Klitschko that's already ending. Or if he wants to extend his career, let him fight the best fighters from the current top and earn championship fights with hard work and potential successes. It can't be that Fury, who hasn't had a big win in a few years, gets another fight with Usyk and Parker, who has defeated 3 dangerous punchers in that time, will be waiting in line.

    No interest in usyk 3 unless he beats a top guy

    I'd love to see him fight kabayel or Zhang or bakole or ajagba or Joshua or Parker first
