In a post on Instagram on Wednesday, Fury wrote “Let’s see what 2026 brings” over a photo of him shaking hands with Alalshikh, who is chairman of Saudi Arabia’s general entertainment authority.
Alalshikh has been a key figure in the rise of boxing in Saudi Arabia, bringing a string of high-profile fights to the country.
Earlier in the day, Fury told reporters at an International Boxing Association (IBA) Event in Istanbul that would prefer a trilogy fight with Usyk to take place on home soil.
He also said in different interviews earlier this week he had no intention of coming out of retirement, before doing a U-turn on Wednesday.
“I don’t believe I’ve got a fair shout the last two times. That’s all I want. I want a fair shout, and I don’t believe I’ve got a fair shout the last two times,” Fury said.
“That’s the one I want, but if I don’t get that then it’d be [Anthony] Joshua, the biggest British fight that will ever happen.
“It would break all records, and it would sell out 100,000 at Wembley in an hour. And it’s a fight I think can happen, for sure, if I decide to come back.”
Fury is yet to fight Joshua, who was stopped by compatriot Dubois at Wembley in September in his most recent outing.
