Tyson Fury's anticipated return to boxing has been pushed back to 2026 due to a Netflix documentary commitment, according to promoter Frank Warren.
The delay is not connected to the filming of the second series of "At Home with the Furys", which is currently in production.
Warren revealed to The Ring Magazine that the former two-time heavyweight champion has a separate documentary project with the streaming service that prevents him from competing in 2025.
Despite announcing his retirement for the fifth time in January following his second consecutive loss to Oleksandr Usyk, Fury continues to train regularly.
Warren told the publication earlier this week: "I spoke to him over the weekend very briefly. And he's doing what he's always doing, which is in the gym training.
"He's not coming back this year because he has commitments on Netflix with the 'At Home With The Furys 2' and he's doing a documentary also for Netflix."
The Queensberry Promotions chief added: "Then, after that, he will come back and we'll discuss who he's going to fight and so forth."

A potential showdown with Anthony Joshua remains on the table as an alternative to the Usyk rematch, with AJ's camp reiterating their interest in the highly-anticipated, all-English bout.
Fury acknowledged the significance of finally settling their long-standing rivalry, which has captivated British boxing fans for years.
"If we both go to our grave - without having fought each other - it would be a travesty for British boxing," Fury said.
He listed the Joshua bout as his "second dream" after the Usyk trilogy.
The former champion maintained his stance as a "prize fighter first and foremost", adding: "So, if the money is right, then we can do a deal. If the money is right, then it's a deal."
