Former WBO world champion Joseph Parker would back his good friend, Tyson Fury, to score a knockout of Anthony Joshua or Oleksandr Usyk.

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has fired back at Dillian Whyte for his post-fight claims of an "illegal" push. Fury compared Whyte to Deontay Wilder, who made wild allegations in the aftermath of his second fight with Fury in 2020.

Tyson Fury has yet to determine his next course of action as it relates to his pro career. Among the things he ruled out, however, were claims of his being on course to face the winner of the Oleksandr Usyk-Anthony Joshua rematch later this summer. A report from the UK’s Daily Mail claimed that Manchester’s Fury (32-0-1, 23KOs) was in advanced talks to face the winner in December for the undisputed championship, with both fights to take place in the Middle East as suggested in the report.

BY BEATING THE champion Trevor Bryan to take ownership of the WBA world championship belt on Saturday night, Daniel Dubois acquired a golden key to the heavyweight kingdom.

Tyson Fury didn’t provide much of a glimpse into what’s in store for his boxing future other than that it will cost a king’s ransom to get him on board for the biggest heavyweight fight to be made.

Tyson Fury can only envision one scenario where Anthony Joshua can avenge his prior defeat to Oleksandr Usyk. It won’t come from his countryman’s union with renowned cornerman and former junior lightweight titlist Robert Garcia, according to the unbeaten lineal/WBC heavyweight champion. The best laid plan, as Fury views it, would be for the two most prominent British heavyweights to join forces in training camp.

Eddie Hearn, promoter for former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, believes a fight with Tyson Fury will always be there as a major event. Fury, in the aftermath of knocking out Dillian Whyte to retain the WBC title in April, expressed his desire to retire from the sport.

During a recent interview, Oleksandr Usyk explained that Tyson Fury has the right attributes to defeat his British rival, Anthony Joshua. Last September, Usyk outboxed Joshua over twelve rounds to capture the IBF, WBO, WBA, IBO heavyweight titles.

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is still undecided on his future in the sport, according to Top Rank president Todd DuBoef. Back in April, Fury scored a sensational sixth round knockout of mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte, with a record crowd of 94,000 watching on.

It’s been quite the few weeks in boxing lately. A heavyweight champion winning and (probably not) retiring. A pay-per-view star climbing the ladder for another title and falling hard. And two welterweights who’ve shared title status for years finally making it sound as if a showdown is what both of them actually want.
