- Tyson Fury eyes two epic showdowns with Anthony Joshua, aiming for matchups in Saudi Arabia and London after facing Usyk
- Fury commits to a rematch with Usyk regardless of the outcome, highlighting the professional nature of their relationship and mutual respect
WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is eyeing two epic showdowns with Anthony Joshua, following his upcoming undisputed title clash with Oleksandr Usyk.
Scheduled to face fellow heavyweight world champion Usyk in Saudi Arabia on May 18, Fury is already plotting his next moves. Should he emerge victorious, Saudi entertainment chairman Turki Alalshikh aims to orchestrate a matchup between Fury and Joshua in the Middle East later this year.
However, Fury has committed to a rematch with Usyk, regardless of the outcome in May. He asserts that Joshua must bide his time, with Fury prepared to face him in Saudi Arabia and London.
Fury elaborated on the dynamics, stating, “If you are Usyk and you are paid a lot of money to lose against me but you already have the rematch then why would you not want it? Unless Turki wants to give him something like £50 million to step aside – but as far as I know nobody wants to throw away that sort of money for free.”
Reflecting on Joshua’s previous encounters with Usyk, Fury emphasized Joshua’s losses and stressed his upcoming challenges. He humorously likened facing Joshua to cooking sausages, envisioning two encounters – one in Saudi Arabia and another in London.
Fury emphasized the professional nature of his relationship with Usyk, emphasizing mutual respect and acknowledging the magnitude of the challenge ahead. He expressed confidence in his abilities and readiness to face Usyk, highlighting the disparity between cruiserweight and heavyweight competition.
