“To be honest with you, I’ve not spoken about the future in boxing for Tyson, I just want him to rest as he needs a good rest from the boxing world,” John said. It’s a decision John not only encourages, but recommends. His victory over Joshua derailed a marquee matchup between Fury and Joshua that would certainly have been negotiated had Usyk lost.Īt his post-fight press conference, Fury said he’s going to focus on taking a break before making a decision on what’s next after back-to-back high-profile bouts against Wilder.
Usyk, an Olympic gold medalist for Ukraine in 2012, is 19-0 as a pro. For me, I’ve told him Usyk or don’t bother.” You only see the best of Tyson when he’s up against the best, a challenge like he had, and you’ve seen a great fight. “And he goes in there with a lackluster attitude, then you don’t see the best of Tyson.

Whyte has long campaigned for a bout with Fury, missing out on the opportunity last year when he lost the WBC interim title via knockout to Alexander Povetkin. Usyk recently claimed the WBA, IBF, and WBO heavyweight titles with a unanimous decision victory over British star Anthony Joshua. “So why do you want to put him in there with my son and get him knocked out?”īy defeating Wilder, Fury retained the WBC and The Ring heavyweight titles. “Would Dillian Whyte deal with Deontay Wilder? No,” he added. “He’s gotta go for Usyk or nothing is my idea,” John told talkSPORT. Afterward, Fury was non-committal on next opponent, but his father John has declared their preference for Tyson’s next fight is against Oleksandr Usyk – not WBC interim champion Dillian Whyte. “The Gypsy King” improved to 31-0-1 on Saturday after winning a thrilling trilogy bout against Deontay Wilder with an 11th-round knockout. Tyson Fury’s fight could be against another undefeated heavyweight champion.
