British WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) will no longer enter the boxing ring if Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) wins the upcoming rematch for the WBA / IBF / WBO titles another representative of Foggy Albion Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs).
But if Joshua wins, then the definition of the absolute champion in the British megafight will not be long in coming.
Such an assumption in an interview
secondsout did Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn.
“According to the latest data, Tyson Fury has retired, which is hard for all of us to believe. At the same time, he is already talking about what could encourage him to return, Hearn notes. – I don’t think Fury will return if Usyk wins (in a rematch). But I think if Joshua wins, and I’m sure that’s exactly what will happen, then we will see a fight for the absolute championship.”
“Joshua wants to fight for the absolute. This has always been his dream, but he can’t do it without the belts, so he decided to have a rematch (with Usyk). He will do everything to become a three-time heavyweight world champion, ”Edward said.
Recall that the Usyk-Joshua rematch is scheduled for August 20 in Saudi Arabia.
“Joshua will do something special and beat Usyk.” Eddie Hearn answered questions from DAZN
