Oleksandr Usyk, the WBA, WBO, IBF, and WBC heavyweight champion, has shown interest in a potential fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. Following his victory over Daniel Dubois, Usyk is preparing for a fight against Fury, with the initial bout in February having been canceled.
In an interview with Boxing King Media, Usyk indicated a preference for fighting Joshua rather than Fury, considering Joshua to be the stronger opponent.
Usyk is expected to return to the ring by the end of 2024, with a fight against Fury scheduled for December 21 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, Joshua has bounced back with consecutive wins, including a significant victory over Francis Ngannou, and is set to face Daniel Dubois on September 21.
Key Questions:
- Will Usyk change his mind and fight Fury instead of Joshua?
- How will Joshua’s recent victories affect his chances in a fight against Usyk or Fury?
- What impact will Usyk’s fight against Fury have on the heavyweight rankings?
- Will Joshua achieve further victories to improve his chances of returning to the top?
