The reigning heavyweight king, Anthony Joshua, seems extremely hungry to take on Tyson Fury in 2021. He and his team are trying to remove all the potential roadblocks that can hamper this spine-chilling clash. One such barrier in this fight is Oleksandr Usyk.
Joshua recently defended his WBA, WBO, IBF, and IBO heavyweight titles against Kubrat Pulev. However, Joshua might have to mandatorily face Oleksandr Usyk to defend his WBO title prior to the Fury fight.
In a chat with Express, ‘AJ’ said, “I think Usyk will be keen to step aside and let the fight happen.”

It seems Joshua is more than excited about this fight, and he wants it to go down as soon as it can. He feels his team is working immensely hard to get this fight done for real.
