The Gypsy King speaks out about the idea of a double boxing night
WBC title holder Tyson Fury criticized the idea of holding a double boxing evening with the participation of the WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO title holder Alexandra Usikaas well as former world champions Anthony Joshua And Deontay Wilder.
“It’s actually very awkward when a former world heavyweight champion is begging for a fight, begging to get on the undercard. Is he a child or what? Joshua wants to be on my undercard? Is he against Wilder? Biggest Loser Battle? Go and have your own show.”
Previously, Skill Challenge Entertainment planned to hold a large-scale boxing evening in the Middle East in December. According to the plan, within the framework of one event there was to be a fight for the title of absolute world champion Usik – Fury, as well as a fight between two ex-champions Joshua and Wilder.
AJ is still preparing for his fight in December. However, he notes that a fight with Wilder now appears unlikely at this time.
Fury will next fight with former UFC world champion Francis Ngannou. The 10-round fight between “The Gypsy King” and Ngannou will take place on October 28 in the Saudi capital of Riyadh. The WBC granted Tyson special permission to fight the former UFC champion.
It is expected that immediately after this fight the final date for the unification fight between Fury and WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO belt holder Alexander Usyk will be confirmed. The “Gypsy King” himself expects that his meeting in the ring with the Ukrainian will take place in December 2023.
