14 days countdown to the epic rematch
Tyson Fury’s Next Big Move: A Legendary Rematch or a Shocking Showdown? Will the undefeated heavyweight champion conquer Usyk again, or will he turn his sights to a long-awaited all-British battle with Anthony Joshua? The future of heavyweight boxing is about to explode—get ready for the biggest rivalry of the decade!
Tyson Fury Eyes Next Opponent Amid Usyk Rematch
Tyson Fury is preparing for his highly anticipated rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, but the British heavyweight is already thinking about his next fight. Despite the upcoming clash with Usyk being a major event, Fury has expressed his eagerness for what comes next. This points to a potential showdown with fellow Brit Anthony Joshua, as well as a possible renewal of his rivalry with Usyk.
Usyk Rematch: A Highly Anticipated Boxing Event
The Fury-Usyk rematch is set for December 21, 2024, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which has become a global boxing hotspot. Although this rematch no longer holds the title of a full unification bout with all major belts on the line, three out of four major titles (WBA, WBC, and WBO) will still be contested. Therefore, the Fury-Usyk 2 encounter remains one of the most significant boxing events of the year, generating huge anticipation for what promises to be a thrilling showdown.
Looking Ahead: Fury’s Next Fight with Joshua?
Although the Fury-Usyk rematch is just around the corner, Tyson Fury is already talking about future opponents, particularly Anthony Joshua. The former two-time heavyweight champion, Joshua, is recovering from an injury sustained during his loss to Daniel Dubois and is expected to return to the ring in May 2025. This timing is seen as ideal for a potential all-British clash between Fury and Joshua, regardless of the outcome of the Fury-Usyk rematch. Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn, who represents Joshua, recently revealed that both fighters are interested in this fight, with the possibility of it being a “farewell bout” for both.
The Thrill of a Trilogy: Fury’s Desire for a 3rd Bout with Usyk
In a recent interview with DAZN, Tyson Fury made it clear that he is eager for a trilogy fight with Oleksandr Usyk. Despite the upcoming rematch, Fury emphasized that regardless of who wins, a third fight is essential. “There will be another rematch, a trilogy. It’s something that has to happen. If Usyk wins one, and I win one, neither of us can say we’re better than the other. Either way, there has to be a third fight,” Fury stated confidently. This sets the stage for a potential ongoing rivalry between the two heavyweights, similar to his previous saga with Deontay Wilder.
Fury’s Unbeaten Legacy: A Previous Trilogy with Wilder
Tyson Fury’s legacy includes his dramatic trilogy with Deontay Wilder, which was a defining moment in his career. The first fight, in December 2018, ended in a controversial split draw, despite Fury surviving a knockdown that many thought should have ended the match. The second and third bouts saw Fury emerge victorious, securing him the WBC title and maintaining his undefeated streak until his loss to Usyk in May 2024. This trilogy with Wilder set a high bar, and Fury is eager to recreate that drama in a new series with Usyk.
The Future of Heavyweight Boxing
As Fury gears up for his rematch with Usyk, he is already eyeing the future. Whether it’s an all-British clash with Anthony Joshua or a thrilling trilogy with Usyk, Fury’s hunger for competition remains strong. With heavyweight boxing poised for more explosive bouts, Fury’s next moves will undoubtedly shape the future of the sport for years to come.
