In one of the most awaited boxing battles, Tyson Fury retained his heavyweight title after defeating Deontay Wilder in 11 rounds. Interestingly, the champion knocked out his opponent and won one of the most important fights of his career. It is because of this reason that many tennis legends, including Andy Murray, have reacted to his victory.

“Would you rather. Fury vs usyk for undisputed and Wilder vs Joshua with winner fighting winner of fury vs usyk or Joshua vs usyk rematch and winner to fight fury?” tweeted Murray.

Even after his win, Tyson Fury is not expected to face Usyk or Joshua next. This is because the latter fighter activated a rematch clause. In such a situation, the Gypsy King is likely to face Dillian Whyte, the current WBC interim champion, as his next possible opponent. Will he be able to shine once again in the boxing ring?
