Usyk Reveals Plan To Hunt Down Tyson Fury

By Daily Sports on October 13, 2021

Oleksandr Usyk is plotting a fight with Tyson Fury after facing Anthony Joshua again, his promoter has revealed.

Fury’s brilliant win over Deontay Wilder in their trilogy fight extended his WBC championship reign, a fortnight after Usyk won the IBF, WBA and WBO belts from Anthony Joshua.

The new undisputed heavyweight title collision would be between undefeated duo Fury and Usyk.

“It will be after Usyk defeats AJ in the rematch,” his promoter Alexander Krassyuk told Sky Sports.

Joshua has triggered a rematch clause and is set to fight Usyk again in early-2022.

Usyk already has one eye on a fight with Fury which would unequivocally decide the heavyweight division’s No 1.

Asked if Usyk was impressed by Fury’s dismantling of Wilder, his promoter Krassyuk said: “He was. And he was impressed with how the boxers fought without showing boxing skills. They were trying to [badly hurt] each other.”

Fury has also been targeted by Dillian Whyte, who will establish himself as the WBC mandatory challenger if he overcomes Otto Wallin on October 30.
