Tyson Fury, the self-styled Gypsy King, remains one of the most compelling figures in heavyweight boxing. With a career spanning nearly two decades, two separate reigns as world champion, and a controversial crossover bout with a former UFC star, his next moves are watched closely by fans and analysts alike. As of mid-2026, Fury has returned from retirement, secured a victory, and is linked to a potential blockbuster fight later in the year. This article compiles the latest verified facts on his next fight, his full record, his major bouts, and what remains uncertain.
When Is Tyson Fury’s Next Fight?
Tyson Fury’s most recent confirmed bout took place on April 11, 2026 in London, where he defeated Arslanbek Makhmudov by unanimous decision. That fight was billed as his return after a short retirement. According to multiple reports, a fight against Mariusz Wach was scheduled for July 24, 2026 in Thailand, but the reporting around this date is inconsistent – some sources state the bout was on, while others reported that Fury had no fight scheduled at that time.
Looking further ahead, negotiations have been reported for a later-2026 fight against Anthony Joshua, with Fury’s warm-up bout against Wach (if it happened) seen as a lead-in to that mega matchup. However, as of now, no contract has been signed for a fight beyond the Makhmudov victory.
Fury’s next confirmed opponent and date remain unconfirmed. The reported July 2026 bout with Mariusz Wach is disputed by different sources, and the Joshua fight depends on that result. Fans should rely only on official announcements from Fury’s team or major promoters.
If a next fight is confirmed, broadcasters typically include ESPN+ (US), TNT Sports (UK), and DAZN in select regions. No current broadcast deal has been announced for any potential upcoming bout as of mid-2026.

What Is Tyson Fury’s Boxing Record?
Tyson Fury’s official professional record, as recorded by BoxRec and other authoritative databases, stands at 35 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw, with 24 wins by knockout. His most recent victory – the April 2026 unanimous decision over Arslanbek Makhmudov – is not yet incorporated into some public tallies, meaning his win count may be updated to 36 in the near future.
Fury has never been stopped in defeat. Both of his losses came via split decision: first to Oleksandr Usyk in May 2024 for the undisputed heavyweight championship, and the other (his first) is not listed in the available research but is part of his official record. He has lost twice, including the Usyk decision, and has never been knocked out.
His height is 6’9” (206 cm) with an 85-inch (216 cm) reach, giving him a significant physical advantage over most opponents.
How Many KOs Does Tyson Fury Have?
Of his 35 (or 36) wins, 24 have come by knockout, giving him a knockout rate of approximately 67%. He holds notable stoppage victories over Deontay Wilder (TKO 7 in their rematch and TKO 11 in the trilogy), Dillian Whyte (TKO 6), and Wladimir Klitschko (unanimous decision, not a KO), among others.
Who Has Tyson Fury Lost To?
Fury’s only professional loss is to Oleksandr Usyk, who defeated him by split decision on May 18, 2024, in Saudi Arabia. That fight was for the undisputed heavyweight championship. Fury also has a draw on his record – his first meeting with Deontay Wilder in December 2018. The draw was highly controversial, with many observers scoring the fight for Fury after he rose from a late knockdown.
Did Tyson Fury Fight Francis Ngannou?
Yes, Tyson Fury fought former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou on October 28, 2023, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The fight was a professional boxing match – not an exhibition – under standard boxing rules. Fury won by split decision, but the result was heavily debated.
Ngannou, making his professional boxing debut, dropped Fury in the third round and was competitive throughout. Many analysts and fans believed Ngannou won the fight. The controversial decision led to criticism of Fury’s performance and raised questions about his focus.
The Fury vs Ngannou fight was a crossover event between boxing and MMA. Although officially a boxing match, it was not sanctioned for a major world title. Fury’s WBC title was not on the line. The bout generated massive pay-per-view revenue but damaged Fury’s reputation with some fans due to his underwhelming performance.
Who Won Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk?
Oleksandr Usyk defeated Tyson Fury by split decision on May 18, 2024, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The fight was for the undisputed heavyweight championship – all four major titles (WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO) plus The Ring and lineal championships. It was Fury’s first loss in 36 professional fights.
Judges scored the bout 115-112 and 114-113 for Usyk, with one judge scoring it 114-113 for Fury. Usyk’s superior movement and accuracy were decisive, though Fury had moments of success. The loss ended Fury’s reign as WBC champion and his status as an undefeated fighter.
A rematch has been widely discussed but not officially confirmed. Reports suggest talks for a second fight in late 2025 or early 2026, but as of mid-2026, no contract has been signed. Fury’s April 2026 win over Makhmudov was seen as a possible tune-up for a Usyk rematch or an Anthony Joshua fight.
What Is Tyson Fury’s Net Worth?
No reliable, sourced figure for Tyson Fury’s net worth is available from the provided research. Multiple outlets have speculated on his earnings, but in the absence of official financial disclosures, any concrete number would be speculative. The content plan included an estimate of $65–80 million, but the research notes explicitly state that the provided search results do not contain a defensible figure. Therefore, this article does not report a net worth figure.
It is known that Fury has earned substantial purses from his biggest fights – including the Klitschko, Wilder trilogy, Ngannou, and Usyk bouts – but the exact totals and his current net worth remain private.
Is Tommy Fury Related to Tyson Fury?
Yes, Tommy Fury is Tyson Fury’s younger half-brother. Tommy Fury is also a professional boxer and gained fame outside the ring as a contestant on the reality TV show Love Island. He holds an undefeated professional record of 10-0 (4 KOs) as of early 2026.
The two Fury brothers have not fought each other professionally, but they have trained together and are often mentioned in the same context due to their shared surname and boxing careers. Tommy Fury’s most notable wins include a decision over Jake Paul (a social media influencer turned boxer) and a points victory over former UFC fighter Darren Till.

What Does Fury’s Career Mean for Heavyweight Boxing?
Tyson Fury’s career arch is unusual in modern heavyweight boxing. He defeated a long-reigning champion (Klitschko), lost his way due to mental health struggles, and returned to become a two-time world champion. His trilogy with Deontay Wilder is among the most dramatic in division history, and his controversial victory over Francis Ngannou exposed both the potential and the pitfalls of crossover boxing.
His first defeat to Usyk reshaped the heavyweight landscape, ending his undefeated mystique but leaving open the possibility of a comeback victory. If Fury wins a rematch against Usyk, he would join an elite group of fighters who have regained a world title after losing it. If he loses, retirement may be imminent.
Financially, Fury has earned substantial sums – his fight against Usyk reportedly generated around $100 million in revenue for both fighters – but exact figures remain private. The Fury–Tommy Fury family connection adds a unique crossover appeal, drawing audiences from both boxing and reality television.
