Fury Chooses Usyk Over Joshua for Anticipated Comeback Fight
Tyson Fury is focusing on a potential trilogy fight with Oleksandr Usyk instead of a highly anticipated matchup against Anthony Joshua. This news comes from Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, who recently shared insights on Fury’s future plans in a Sky Sports interview.
Tension in British Boxing: Fury vs. Joshua vs. Usyk
Fury aims to avenge his two losses to Usyk. He lost both bouts to the undisputed heavyweight champion on points in 2024. Warren emphasized that Fury remains eager for a chance to rectify those defeats.
Fury’s Career Overview
- Fury has announced five retirements, with the most recent in January.
- He is currently 36 years old and has not suffered many defeats in his career.
- His only two losses were against Usyk, both occurring in intense, closely contested matches.
Warren noted that despite the skepticism surrounding Fury’s age and career longevity, the boxer remains sharp and strategic. He believes Fury knows his capabilities well and is not rushing into decisions.
Uncertainty Surrounding Joshua Fight
Although fans are eager to see Fury square off against Joshua, discussions about this fight have yet to gain traction. Both fighters have been on a collision course since rising to prominence in the 2010s. However, multiple attempts to finalize a bout between them have fallen through.
Usyk’s Recent Fight
Usyk last fought in July, securing a victory over Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium. With other contenders like Joseph Parker and Agit Kabayel emerging, there is increased competition in the heavyweight ranks.
As time progresses, it remains unclear if Fury and Joshua will ever meet in the ring, leaving fans hopeful yet anxious for a resolution. The focus, for now, is on Fury’s quest for redemption against Usyk.
