The world heavyweight champion of the World Boxing Council (WBC), Tyson Fury, 34, will return to the ring. ‘The Gypsy King‘ hope to report his decision to remain active after many rumors about his possible retirement, fueled by himself when he claimed 500 million pounds (about 590 million euros) for anyone who wants to fix his match against the Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk35, who holds the belt of the other three organizations, WBA, IBF and WBO, which he managed to maintain recently against also English Anthony Joshua.
