Boxing legends eye major matchups for late 2026

Promoter Frank Warren has revealed that Tyson Fury is interested in a third fight against Oleksandr Usyk following his scheduled bout with Anthony Joshua on December 11, 2026. While Fury lost his previous two encounters with Usyk in 2024, he has reportedly expressed a desire to face the Ukrainian once more, or alternatively, compete against other championship belt holders.

In a separate development, Floyd Mayweather Jr. has indicated that a highly anticipated exhibition match against Mike Tyson is being planned for December 2026. Previous attempts to schedule the fight for early 2025 were delayed due to Tyson’s hand injuries, Mayweather’s scheduling conflicts, and legal and financial disputes involving CSI Sports regarding contract agreements and advances.
