Fury came out of hiding this week to announce he has an April 2026 fight vs Usyk, while Usyk is 100 percent focused on final training for Dubois this month. Fury said if Dubois wins he would beat Dubois easy because his style is tailor made for him.
Several reasons why Fury made his phony announcement.
1 To promote himself by challenging Usyk. If Usyk loses to Dubois, Fury can say See I would have beaten Usyk worse than Dubois did. If Usyk wins and retires, as some speculate, Fury can claim Usyk ducked the third fight which nobody really wants to see.
2 Fury is using Usyk's name to duck Joshua, which is the natural fight right now that everyone still wants to see. The make or break fight for both. Joshua would be ready for Fury later this year but Fury does not want it. He never has shown any true eagerness to face AJ, just phony stunts and fake negotiations for image control.
3 Fury claims he wants three fights - Usyk, AJ and Dubois. But you'd have to be a fool to believe any plan Fury maps out at this point after all his BS. The real agenda more likely is Fury thinks AJ and Usyk are both about finished and he wants to take over HWT boxing with his buddy Turki promoting the Big Show for two or three more years, handpicking a bunch of set ups and patsies. It's very possible Fury can do this, he's the most popular and colorful Hulk Hogan figure in HWT boxing today. Dubois and all the rest are boring. Surely Turki could rig a sanctioning body to give one or two of the belts to Fury.
It appears the stage is being set to reinstall Fury as the Face of Boxing. Right now the face of boxing throne is vacant.
