The Fury brothers, Tyson 'The Gypsy King' and Tommy 'TNT', continue to dominate headlines in the world of combat sports, with late 2025 proving to be a pivotal and dramatic period for both men. While one half-brother navigates a highly publicized return to the ring with two confirmed fights, the other is grappling with the complexities of a "retirement" that few fans believe will last. The latest news, as of December 2025, paints a picture of contrasting career paths, personal triumphs, and the ever-present, volatile influence of the Fury family’s boxing legacy.
This article dives deep into the most recent, fresh, and often surprising developments for the two most famous fighting sons of John Fury, from Tommy's high-stakes crossover bouts against former UFC stars to the persistent rumors surrounding Tyson's potential comeback that could reshape the heavyweight division.

Tommy Fury's Explosive 2025 Comeback: Two Fights Confirmed
After a year-long hiatus from the ring following his controversial win over KSI in late 2023, Tommy Fury has officially announced a high-profile return with two confirmed bouts that are set to define his 2025 campaign. The news has instantly generated massive interest, particularly from the crossover boxing community. Tommy, who recently stated that 2025 is the "best year of his life" after a challenging 2024, appears determined to solidify his professional boxing credentials.
The Manchester Showdown: Tommy Fury vs. Darren Till (January 18, 2025)
Tommy Fury’s first confirmed fight of the year is a major Misfits crossover event against former UFC star Darren Till. The bout is scheduled for Saturday, January 18, 2025, at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, England.
- Opponent: Darren Till, a highly-regarded former UFC fighter known for his striking ability.
- Event: Headlining the MF & DAZN: X Series 20 card.
- Significance: This is a crucial test for Fury. While Till is primarily an MMA fighter, he possesses elite-level striking and a reputation for toughness. A decisive victory over a legitimate combat sports name like Till would silence critics who dismiss Tommy's wins over YouTube boxers like Jake Paul and KSI.
The fight is set to be a high-stakes affair, with both men looking to make a statement in the burgeoning crossover boxing scene. The clash marks Tommy's first professional fight in over a year, making his performance a key indicator of his dedication to the sport.
The European Challenge: Tommy Fury vs. Kenan Hanjalic (May 9, 2025)
Just a few months later, Tommy Fury is scheduled to take on Bosnian cruiserweight Kenan Hanjalic in a professional bout on Friday, May 9, 2025, in Budapest, Hungary.
- Opponent: Kenan Hanjalic (4-1, 3 KOs), a Bosnian fighter with a respectable professional record.
- Weight Class: Cruiserweight, a division Tommy is increasingly focusing on.
- Context: This fight, following the Till crossover bout, signals a clear intent from Tommy to transition back into traditional professional boxing and climb the rankings in the cruiserweight division. It demonstrates a commitment beyond the spectacle of the influencer circuit.
The back-to-back scheduling of these fights in early 2025 is a definitive sign that Tommy Fury is serious about his career and aims to shed the "reality TV star" label. His father, John Fury, has been vocal in supporting his son's return, often engaging in verbal sparring with Tommy's former rivals like Jake Paul.
Tyson Fury’s 'Retirement' and the Unbreakable Fury Family Dynamic
While Tommy is gearing up for a busy 2025, his older half-brother, Tyson Fury, is immersed in a state of flux. Following two highly anticipated defeats to unified champion Oleksandr Usyk, Tyson announced his retirement from the sport in early 2025, insisting he has nothing left to prove.
The Heavyweight Uncertainty
Tyson, who held the coveted WBC Heavyweight Championship, has released several statements confirming his retirement, even after refusing a reported $1 billion comeback deal. However, the boxing world remains skeptical. The lure of a massive, all-British clash against Anthony Joshua, or a potential third fight with Usyk, is a financial and legacy opportunity that many believe the 'Gypsy King' cannot resist.
Interestingly, some reports suggest a potential comeback is already being planned for 2026, with Tyson himself writing that "The king must return to his throne!" This constant back-and-forth between retirement and return is a hallmark of Tyson's career, keeping the heavyweight division on edge. Potential opponents for a future return include Joe Joyce, Luis Ortiz, and Jared Anderson.
The John Fury Influence and Brotherly Bond
The relationship between Tyson and Tommy, though half-brothers, is incredibly close, bound by their shared father, John Fury, and their Traveller heritage. John Fury, a former boxer himself, is the patriarch and a constant, often controversial, presence in both their careers.
The brothers are frequently seen training together, with Tommy often appearing on the undercards of Tyson’s major world title fights. Their dynamic is one of mutual support, with Tyson offering mentorship and Tommy providing a younger, more mainstream dimension to the family brand, particularly through his relationship with influencer Molly-Mae Hague.
The family bond was highlighted by recent news that Tommy and Molly-Mae Hague are officially back together after a brief separation in 2024. Tommy has openly shared that his personal life is thriving in 2025, a stability that will be crucial as he faces his toughest boxing challenges yet against Till and Hanjalic.
In essence, while Tyson Fury may be enjoying a temporary break from the ring, the Fury dynasty is far from quiet. With Tommy's two confirmed fights setting the stage for a career-defining year and the constant shadow of Tyson's inevitable comeback looming, the Fury name will continue to be the most talked-about entity in boxing well into 2026.
