A long-awaited boxing match between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk seems like it could finally happen. According to multiple reports, Fury and Usyk signed on to a fight that will result in an undisputed heavyweight champion.

ESPN’s Mike Coppinger reports that the fight is set to take place in Saudi Arabia. The date is yet to be determined, with December 23 or January date being the most likely.

Fury currently owns the WBC belt, while Usyk is the WBA, IBF, and WBO heavyweight champion. If the two end up actually meeting in a boxing ring, the world will get its first undisputed heavyweight champion since the four-belt era in boxing started.

Understandably, there is still much skepticism about whether the fight will actually end up taking place. Fury and Usyk were set to face off back in April at Wembley Stadium in London, UK, but the event was called off after their representatives couldn’t agree on various important issues.

 Before facing Usyk, Fury will first have to deal with former UFC champion Francis Ngannou. The two are scheduled to fight in Saudi Arabia in October.

Usyk, on the other hand, knocked out Daniel Dubois back in August and didn’t have more fights lined up before the potential boxing match against Fury.

Tyson Fury confirmed his boxing supremacy back in October when knocked out Deontay Wilder in a thrilling fight to retain his WBC heavyweight title. But the feat is now set to be considered even more impressive after Fury’s father revealed that his son entered the ring “badly injured.”

In a recent chat with BT Sport, John Fury shared that his son dealt with elbow injuries ahead of the bout and had to get cortisone injections before the fight started. The injuries were so bad that the WBC heavyweight champ need “six-hour” surgery to repair the damage.

“He’s since had an operation, six hours, all day in hospital having them sorted out. He had some bone spurs he had to get removed,” John Fury told the British media outlet.

“My son’s No. 1, a legend and will be spoken about for hundreds of years,” he added. “He’s that damn good and got that burning desire to never get beaten.”

Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder produced one of the best boxing matches in ages to wrap up their trilogy. Both of the fighters were on canvas at one point but it was Fury who dealt the finishing blow by dropping Wilder in the eleventh round to end the fight.

While Fury would probably like to chase the undisputed heavyweight title next, that doesn’t seem likely at the moment. WBC already confirmed that they want Fury to fight interim champion Dillian Whyte with early 2022 being eyed as the most likely date.

Tyson Fury has emerged as a strong betting favorite ahead of his clash with Deontay Wilder for the WBC heavyweight title in Las Vegas on Saturday night. Fury is a -280 favorite to win the bout, while Wilder has been positioned as the +230 underdog.

During Fury and Wilder’s first bout in 2018, it was Wilder who was viewed as the clear favorite. This fight ended in a split draw. Wilder remained the favorite to win the second bout, a match that ended with Fury shocking the boxing world by winning via a seventh-round TKO.

Nick Kalikas, a risk supervisor for Circa Sports, had this to say on the latest betting trends: “We did see a lot of straight bets on Wilder earlier. Now, as we’re getting closer to the fight, there is an uptick of action both ways. We did see some sharp action, some max bets on Tyson Fury, as of late.”

Betting giant Caesars Sportsbook revealed that at the start of Saturday, nearly 80% of the money that had been wagered was placed on a Fury win. BetMGM, on the other hand, reported that 64.6% of its betting money was on Wilder, while OddsChecker.com reported that betting was evenly divided on aggregate.

A fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua is one of the most anticipated boxing fights in recent memory. And it appears we are inching closer to actually seeing it play out.

Fury’s promoter Bob Arum recently made an appearance on iFL TV and said that Fury and Joshua agreed to all major points of the bout and are close to meeting in the ring.

“I can say clearly, based on my view on everything, that there are no more issues,” said Arum. He then added that there are still several details that need to be sorted out, including the contracts and the venue.

The reports about Fury vs. Joshua first surfaced last year, when Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn said that the boxers agreed to a two-fight deal and will fight in 2021. Fury also confirmed the news shortly after, but there were no further updates about the bout since then.

Arum’s recent comments are encouraging for everyone who wants to see this fight, but it should be cautious optimism. In the world of boxing, nothing is certain until contracts get signed and the venue gets booked.

Tyson Fury currently holds the WBC heavyweight champion belt, which he won in February 2020 by defeating Deontay Wilder. He hasn’t had a fight since.

Anthony Joshua, on the other hand, is the IBF, WBA, and WBO champion. His most recent fight was against Kubrat Pulev, whom he knocked out in the 9th round in December.

It looks like heavyweight champions Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are finally meeting in the ring. According to English promoter Eddie Hearn, Fury and Joshua have an “agreement” to fight in 2021.

Hearn, who promotes Joshua, told ESPN on Wednesday that the two fighters worked out basics of the deal for two fights that should take place next year.

“We have agreed to the basics of the deal, a two-fight deal,” said Hearn. “The hardest part is to agree to the financial element of the deal. We have agreed with Tyson Fury and the team, and we can now move forward with finalizing the smaller parts of the deal. The good news for fight fans is that we have agreed to do the two fights, and we can now go and dot the I’s and cross the T’s.”

However, Hearn added that details like exact date and venue are unknown at the moment and both Joshua and Fury will have to come out victorious in their next fights in order to meet each other,

“They also have fights in between to make and get through, and that’s another issue,” he explained.

Fury also confirmed the deal via a video posted on social media.

After losing the WBO, WBA, and IBF heavyweight champion belts to Andy Ruiz in June 2019, Anthony Joshua managed to get them back in a rematch that took place six months later. For his next fight, Joshua was supposed to face Kubrat Pulev on June 20th, but the bout was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Tyson Fury, on the other hand, holds the WBC heavyweight champion belt as he defeated Deontay Wilder in early 2020. Fury will now face Dillian Whyte as part of mandatory title defense chores, while the third fight against Wilder is also on the cards.

As incredible as it may sound like, at some point there was a chance for us to see Tyson vs. Tyson. Current WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury recently told the media that he was offered a chance to fight legendary boxer Mike Tyson in an exhibition match a while ago.

Although he has not been in the ring since 2005, there is an increasing chatter that the 53-year-old Tyson is willing to fight again thanks to a number of social media videos that showed him fiercely working out. It looks like some promoter caught his comeback intention early on and immediately tried to arrange a spectacle.

“I did get a phone call with a chance to fight Mike Tyson, and I was like, ‘What?,'” said Fury in a chat with BT Sport. “I had a phone call saying, ‘Would you like to fight Mike Tyson in an exhibition fight?’ I was like, ‘Hell yeah!'”

Unfortunately, the fight of two Tysons never materialized. According to Fury, the talks never got past that phone call.

Although it is unlikely for Mike Tyson to fight Fury, several other opponents have been mentioned as an option. As Fury points out, most enticing would be the third fight against Evander Holyfield.  In the previous two fights, which took place in 1996 and 1997, Holyfield was victorious.

Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury will cross their gloves for the third time. This was officially confirmed to ESPN by Bob Arum, Fury’s co-promoter.

According to Arum, Wilder exercised the clause in his contract, which gives him a chance to fight Fury for the third time and try to reclaim WBC heavyweight title. The fight will take place on July 18th at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena.

The news was also confirmed by Wilder’s co-manager Shelly Finkel.

“We did exercise it,” said Finkel. “We want to fight Fury next and we wanted to make sure we sent the letter and that it was done.”

Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury first met in December 2018 in Los Angeles, when the fight ended in a much-disputed draw. The fighters later decided to settle the score in a highly anticipated rematch, which took place on February 22nd, 2020.

The second fight wasn’t as close, with Fury dominating the fight and sending Wilder two times on the canvas. The match ended in the seventh round with a TKO after the Wilder’s corner threw in the towel. The win gave Fury his second heavyweight title.

Wilder’s decision to ask for a third match doesn’t come as a surprise, as he announced it almost immediately after the loss. Prior to the rematch, each fighter signed on a contract, which enabled the loser to request a third match.

Tyson Fury is the heavyweight world champion once again. Fury defeated the reigning champion Deontay Wilder in a highly publicized fight on Saturday night, claiming the title under World Boxing Council (WBC).

Fury and Wilder first met 14 months ago, when their fight finished with a controversial draw. This time around, however, it was obvious that neither fighter wanted to leave place for doubt.

Wilder looked good in the first two rounds, but Fury didn’t back down. The British fighter remained aggressive and took control of the match, starting from the third round.

Fury first sent Wilder to the floor in the third, which was just the second time in American’s career, and then took him down once again in the fifth. Halfway through the seventh round, Furry got Wilder pinned up the ropes and bleeding, which caused the Wilder’s team to throw in the towel.

“The king has returned to the top of the throne,” said Fury after his win.

With this win, Tyson Fury rounded his comeback and took his place as one of the best heavyweight boxers in the world once again while remaining undefeated. As of Deontay Wilder, he was handed his first professional defeat after 44 fights and failed to break Mohammad Ali’s record for most consecutive heavyweight world champion title defenses.

“Even the greatest have lost and come back,” said Wilder. “I make no excuses. This is what big-time boxing is all about.”

Considering the big interest in the fight, it’s expected that we will see Fury vs. Wilder trilogy. This could set up the stage for a winner to fight Anthony Joshua, who is the heavyweight world champion under WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO.

Tyson Fury will face Deontay Wilder in the US in the first half of 2019, boxing promoter Frank Warren told ESPN on Friday.

“The venue is looking like the U.S., that’s where the money is,” Warren said. “Tyson was disappointed with the judging with the last fight, as I was, so a lot of things need to be sorted but the U.S. is where they want it.”

While a date and venue are yet to be set, the promoter believes Las Vegas will be more of a likely venue for the rematch over the UK or any other location. The bout comes weeks after the controversial draw decision made after the two heavyweights faced off in Los Angeles last month.

 “Vegas would be one of the options. I wouldn’t want to go back to California, I didn’t like working with the California Commission and there were a lot of things we didn’t like there.”

Warren also noted that Tyson is already in the gym preparing for the match. After the rematch with Wilder, the UK boxer is also expected to face off with fellow British boxer Anthony Joshua.

“We are not complicated, Tyson is the most uncomplicated person you will meet, and he will fight anyone,” he said.

In an unexpected twist, Tyson Fury entered the drama surrounding the unification of the world heavyweight boxing division.

Deontay Wilder, WBC champion, claimed that a match-up with the undefeated Briton is “close” during an interview with RingTV.

Fury spent twelve months out of the ring due to mental health issues. His return in June ended with a bizarre win over Sefer Seferi. A fight among spectators distracted Fury and saw more punches thrown than in the ring itself.

For Wilder, that, however, was enough to begin promoting the fight.

“It’s definitely going to happen, there’s no doubt,” he declared. “There’s just a little more work to be done.”

Not on the hype though.

“This is going to be better than Joshua when it all boils down to it,” he continued. “We know Tyson Fury, in many eyes, is still the champ, he hasn’t been defeated. He’s still undefeated. He’s still the lineal champion. Once I knock him off, I become that man who beat the man. I’m super excited, I can’t wait for this thing to be official and we can get the promotion going and get the fans riled up for it.”

The fight between Joshua and Wilder is some way off. Both fighters cause the ‘Sold Out’ signs to hang over stadium ticket offices.

However, viewers are not yet persuaded to part with their money. It’s a key revenue stream to making the fight happen. Until both achieve the numbers broadcasters want to see, it remains a significant barrier.

Wilder hopes that by knocking out Fury, those numbers will start to rise. The buck then passes to Anthony Joshua to improve his numbers on UK television.
