In a highly anticipated showdown this Saturday, Tyson Fury is set to face off against Oleksandr Usyk in a battle for the heavyweight titles. The contract for the fight includes a rematch clause, ensuring that the loser can trigger an immediate rematch, potentially setting up back-to-back bouts between Fury and Usyk.
Promoter Frank Warren of Queensberry Promotions revealed that the payday for the rematch would be hard to pass up for either fighter, making it likely that the loser will opt for a second fight. This could potentially delay a matchup between Fury and Anthony Joshua, who is waiting in the wings for a shot at the title.
Warren hinted at the possibility of a Fury vs. Joshua fight happening early next year, provided both fighters come out victorious in their upcoming matches. The location for such a fight is still up in the air, with Warren acknowledging that the fighters will go where the money is, even if it means fighting outside of their home country.
Before any plans for a Fury vs. Joshua showdown can be made, Fury and Usyk must first face off this weekend to determine the best heavyweight in boxing. Warren emphasized the significance of this matchup, with both fighters being undefeated and in the prime of their careers.
With the boxing world eagerly awaiting the outcome of the Fury vs. Usyk fight, the potential for a future clash between Fury and Joshua adds another layer of excitement to the heavyweight division.
