His return to the ring is one of boxing's great comeback stories, leading to a legendary and defining trilogy with knockout artist Deontay Wilder.

He left no doubt in the 2020 rematch, dominating Wilder to capture the WBC Heavyweight title. Their third fight in 2021, a brutal, back-and-forth classic, saw Fury secure a knockout victory and was widely named Fight of the Year.
His reign as champion ended in a May 2024 undisputed title clash against Oleksandr Usyk, where he lost a close decision. Fury announced his retirement from boxing in January 2025.
