The 'Gypsy King' will return to the ring on Friday night against Polish veteran Mariusz Wach, but ahead of the clash, Fury had some harsh words to say about the heavyweight division10:49, 22 Jul 2026Tyson Fury brutally did not hold back in his assessment of the current landscape of the heavyweight division.‌The 'Gypsy King' will return to the ring on Friday night - three months after outpointing Arslanbek Makhmudov in front of over 60,000 fans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Fury will take on Polish veteran Mariusz Wach behind closed doors over in Thailand.‌Since Fury's return, the heavyweight division has changed immensely. Following Oleksandr Usyk's controversial stoppage win against kickboxing legend Rico Verhoeven over in Egypt back in May, the Ukrainian decided to drop his three body belts - the WBA 'super', WBC and IBF - in a move which has sent shockwaves across the sport.‌Murat Gassiev is the WBA champion, while Agit Kabayel is recognised as the WBC title holder. Daniel Dubois became a two-time world champion after knocking out Fabio Wardley back in May for the WBO strap, and the IBF belt remains vacant. Following the monumental shift, it now presents Fury with a perfect chance to become a three-time champion.FOLLOW OUR FIGHTING FB PAGE!

"He does not. All those men have been gifted world titles. They never actually fought anyone to get one," he said on Wednesday. "Fabio Wardley - gifted a world title. Daniel Dubois - gifted a world title. Agit Kabayel - gifted a world title. Murat Gassiev - gifted a world title. How could you compare them men to me? Who's fought legends of the game and beat them for world titles."They're in their own little group, and I am f****** on top of the Empire State Building. They have got f*** all I want. They do not have any money. I have already had all the belts. They have got nothing that I want. And their names... they are not even high record names. Like, who knows who these people are? I know they are only just starting out their careers, most of them are a few years younger than me, but they are starting out with a no name and they have got to build their way up, and it's going to take years to get there."This Gassiev guy who has just won a world title, who knows that guy outside of Russia? Nobody. Agit Kabayel. Frank Warren said 'you can't fight him!' Back in 2020. 'You can't fight Agit, he's a no name. You'd get booed out the stadium.' He was only 24-0, number one rated in the IBF at the time. All these guys, they are all doing their thing. They are all going to fight it out between themselves. Even after being retired for ten years, I can still come back and get a world title shot at any time, because I have paid the price. I have spent hours and years in this game to be able to do that. I will always be a big name."Article continues belowHe added: "I want to just keep busy and do me. I paid the price. I have fought four or five world title eliminators. I fought all the top contenders... champions... unifies and all of that s***. I have earned the right to do what the f*** I want now. Whoever I want to fight from any sport, I can make that fight happen. Because I am the 'GK' and I do what I want."Whether Fury decides to fight for another world title remains to be seen. The 37-year-old insists he is content with doing whatever he wants. The Morecambe brawler is expected to come away from his fight with Wach unscathed and then take on long-time rival Anthony Joshua in a highly-anticipated all-British dust-up in November.
