Tyson Fury is still in his "prime" and his return to boxing is great for the sport, says Eddie Hearn.
Fury, 37, confirmed at the start of January he will return to fight in 2026 nearly a year after he announced his latest retirement from the ring.
Fury, who has not fought since a second points loss to heavyweight rival Oleksandr Usyk in December 2024, is first expected to take a warm-up fight before going head to head against one of the other big names in the heavyweight division later in the year.
"It's an interesting one," promoter Hearn told Sky Sports News.
