The stage is set for Tyson Fury to obtain perhaps the most coveted title in the boxing world. If he beats Oleksandr Usyk on May 18, he will become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999. Like everybody else in boxing, he seems confident about producing a win, but he is making headlines today for revealing his plans after that fight!

With just over a month left in the highly anticipated fight at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, ‘The Gypsy King’ kicked off the press conference held in Morecambe, in northwest England. After going through the rigmarole, things took an intriguing turn when Fury fielded questions from Sky Sports regarding his intentions after Usyk.

Tyson Fury may stick around in the sport for quite a while!

Speaking to Sky Sports, the undefeated Brit offered to detail a list of his potential future opponents. “Usyk, Usyk [rematch], AJ, AJ [rematch], if he doesn’t get beaten in the meantime,” said Fury. After defeating the two biggest names in heavyweight, Fury aims to go knocking on every door to assert his dominance.

“Then I might chuck in [Daniel] Dubois if he is back, which he is at the moment. Joe Joyce, Joe Parker. That’s seven,” said the Londoner. Surprisingly, Fury would even consider a fight against a vanquished foe. “We will chuck in Deontay Wilder if he gets back in. Maybe a European guy, Agit Kabayel,” said Fury.

As for the final opponent, Fury seemed to have run out of names, so he suggested he could run it back with the first. “Who would be the tenth? Probably do like a trilogy with Usyk or something, afterwards,” said Fury. Meanwhile, ‘The Gypsy King’ has also revealed why he thinks the fight against Usyk would be easy for him!

‘The Gypsy King’ claims size is on his side against Oleksandr Usyk

Speaking to reporters during the presser, Tyson Fury took shots at Oleksandr Usyk, saying, “You can beat the average big ones, but you can’t beat the elite big ones.” It’s worth mentioning that Usyk has defeated Anthony Joshua twice, who is considered one of the elites in heavyweight boxing. Despite that, Fury said, “Size is what really matters, and we have weight divisions for a reason.”

The Ukrainian undefeated boxer is the former undisputed champion in the cruiserweight division, hoping to do the same in heavyweight. So Fury warned Usyk, saying, “This is my time, my destiny, my era, and my generation. Facts.” Later in the interview, Fury explained, “If Tyson Fury can’t beat Usyk, Tyson’s no good… That’s your red line.”

With the undisputed clash getting ever closer, Tyson Fury seems to be getting even more confident about his win. However, whether he delivers on his promise to fight the boxers he said he would is yet to be seen. Do you think Fury will fight again if he wins? Or, more importantly, will he fight if he loses?
