Boxing observers and fans do not exclude that the WBC heavyweight champion Briton Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) will resume his career unless his compatriot Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) wins on August 20 in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) and will regain the WBA Super, IBF and WBO titles. Allegedly, in this case, the champions will immediately determine the absolute division in a head-to-head fight.
Fury co-promoter Bob ArumTop Rank)
thinks otherwise: “I only agree with the fact that he put his career on pause until August 20th. Let’s wait for the fight, let’s see who wins. I’m sure Fury wants to fight the winner, no matter who wins. I think that only after the fight for the title of absolute world champion will he finally decide to hang up his gloves on a nail. And now he is unlikely to want to leave the case unfinished. ”
Arum, just in case, recalled that this is just his assumption, and the final decision is in any case for Fury: “We are not going to put pressure on him.”
Meanwhile, promoter Eddie Hearn believes that “Joshua lived in a bubble, and Fury is not the coolest boar in boxing.” It’s funny that Tyson allegedly does not mind holding a moderate interim fight for the time being – negotiations have begun on his third fight with Chisora.
