THE GYPSY KING RETURNS: WHY TYSON FURY IS TRAINING IN THAILAND FOR 2026
Tyson Fury is back: As the Gypsy King prepares for 2026, USBA champ Brandon Moore and Arslanbek Makhmudov emerge as top opponents.
Tyson Fury just got offered a comeback fight against Brandon Moore, a guy who used to crunch numbers as an accountant and play basketball before turning to boxing.
Fury walked away from the sport last January after losing twice in a row to his old rival, Oleksandr Usyk. But six months later, he changed his mind—big time. Now, the ‘Gipsy King’ says he wants to fight again in 2026.
He’s 37 now, and lately he’s been training hard in Thailand with fellow boxer Kevin Lerena. Fury keeps saying this comeback isn’t about the pay cheque—it’s about his love for boxing.
He can’t wait to step back in the ring before April ends. There’s talk of a huge summer fight against a big name. A bunch of potential opponents have popped up, and now we’ve got Brandon Moore in the mix. Moore’s promoter, Dmitriy Salita, is pushing to get talks going.
“Brandon Moore is the USBA Heavyweight Champ, coming off three straight wins against undefeated fighters,” Salita told Sky Sports. “He’s a real American heavyweight—6’6”, 240-250 pounds, strong, and getting better every fight. Physically, he’s built like Anthony Joshua, but he’s his own man. He wants to prove himself at the top, and fighting Fury is exactly that.”
Moore’s 31, and honestly, he’s done a bit of everything. He grew up in a family packed with athletes—five brothers, all of whom played sports in college or even professionally. His younger brother, Shaq Moore, plays pro soccer for FC Dallas and has over 20 caps for the US national team. Shaq even scored the fastest goal in Gold Cup history—just 20 seconds in against Canada.
Brandon’s road to boxing wasn’t exactly straight. He played basketball for two years at Southeastern University in Florida, then transferred to Cardinal Stritch University in Milwaukee and got a degree in accounting and finance in 2016. Two years later, he stepped into a boxing gym for the first time and never looked back. By 2019, he had quit his accounting job and gone all-in on boxing.
He moved up the ranks fast after going pro in 2020. His record stands at 19-1, with 10 knockouts. The only loss came to Richard Torrez Jr, who’s still undefeated.
Moore’s definitely a name to watch, but there’s another contender in the picture—Arslanbek Makhmudov. People have been talking about the Russian heavyweight lately, and he might just get the nod for Fury’s tune-up fight. Last time out, Makhmudov beat veteran David Allen on points back in October.
Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, had this to say to Box Nation when asked about the possible matchup: “He’s a very smart guy. He knows what he wants and how to get there. Sure, we’re talking about opponents and all that, but he’s no fool… he knows the score. Maybe we can go with Makhmudov. We’ll see.”
MOSES ITAUMA INJURED: QUEENSBERRY RESCHEDULES FRANKLIN HEAVYWEIGHT CLASH FOR MARCH 28
Moses Itauma is out! An injury has forced Jermaine Franklin's clash to be rescheduled for March 28 at Manchester’s Co-op Live.
Moses Itauma (13-0, 11 KOs) has had to pull out of his January 24 fight against Jermaine Franklin (24-2, 15 KOs) after picking up an injury in training.
Queensberry Promotions broke the news today, January 13: “Unfortunately, Moses Itauma has sustained an injury in camp. The Magnificent 7 show has been rescheduled for March 28th.”
That stings if you’re Itauma. He’s the WBA and WBO’s top-ranked heavyweight, and he’s got his sights set on a world title shot in 2026.
Franklin, 32, was coming over from Michigan to give the young heavyweight from Kent a real test. A few years back, Franklin managed to go the distance with both Dillian Whyte and Anthony Joshua, so he’s no pushover.
Itauma’s been tearing through the division, stopping 11 of his 13 opponents in the first two rounds. Last time out, the Slovakian-born southpaw made quick work of Dillian Whyte, finishing him in just two minutes in August 2025.
Now, with the fight pushed back, Itauma will be out of the ring for seven months. Not exactly what you want when you’re a rising star on the fast track to a world title. Franklin hasn’t fought since September, so both men will be shaking off a bit of rust.
In just two years as a pro, Itauma’s grabbed the Commonwealth and WBO International heavyweight titles. As an amateur, he was flawless—24 wins, no losses, 11 KOs, and gold medals at every level: English Schools, European Schoolboys, English and European Juniors, Multi-Nation BoxCup, English Youth, European Youth, and the World Youth Championships.
The new date is set: Itauma and Franklin will finally meet on March 28—just 63 days later than planned—live on DAZN. Fittingly, it’s the same day the Louvre first opened its doors back in 1794. Maybe fans in Manchester will see a masterpiece of their own at the Co-op Live arena.
TYSON FURY’S COMEBACK OPPONENT REVEALED? WHY BRANDON MOORE’S NAME IS SUDDENLY TRENDING
Tyson Fury is back for 2026. With Anthony Joshua’s future uncertain after a tragic crash, Fury eyes Moore and Makhmudov. Read now.
Dmitriy Salita just put Brandon Moore’s name out there as a possible opponent for Tyson Fury’s comeback later this year.
Fury retired in January 2025 after losing twice to Oleksandr Usyk, but now he’s changed his mind.
The plan? Fury wants to ease back into the ring with a low-stakes fight early in 2026, then go for something bigger that summer.
Saudi boxing boss Turki Alalshikh wanted to finally make the Fury vs. Anthony Joshua fight happen this year. But after Joshua’s tragic car crash in Nigeria, which killed two of his close friends, Latif Ayodele and Sina Ghami, nobody’s sure if AJ will keep fighting. His uncle even told the Nigerian press last month that Joshua might walk away from boxing. If that happens, Fury still has plenty of options for his 2026 fights.
Fury’s manager says they’re looking at a busy year, maybe three fights, and there’s talk about a WBO title bout with Fabio Wardley later in the year. Right now, a crowd of heavyweights is lining up for Fury’s return, and Brandon Moore is in the mix.
Salita, who promotes Moore, told Sky Sports, “Brandon Moore is the USBA Heavyweight Champ, coming off three wins against previously undefeated guys. He’s a legit American heavyweight—6'6", somewhere between 240 and 250 pounds, big, strong, and getting better all the time. Physically, he’s got that modern heavyweight look, kind of like Anthony Joshua, but he’s his own man. He wants to test himself at the top, and facing Tyson Fury is exactly that.”
So, who’s Brandon Moore? He’s got 19 wins, 10 by knockout, and just one loss. That loss came against U.S. Olympian Richard Torrez Jr., who stopped him in five rounds back in May 2024. Since then, Moore’s racked up five wins, though mostly against domestic-level guys.
But is Moore the favourite to face Fury? Honestly, right now it looks like Russian powerhouse Arslanbek Makhmudov is ahead in the race. Fury’s manager, Spencer Brown, told iFL TV, “Tyson will fight anybody, even someone like Fabio Wardley. But look, he’s been out a year. He needs a fight to get going first.”
Brown added he’d love to see Fury’s first fight back happen in Manchester as a sort of homecoming. After that, there are plenty of options. Makhmudov’s definitely one of the top names being discussed. Brown said, “Makhmudov is one of the front-runners; yes, he’s an option.”
