‘Top Rank‘ boss, Arum, recently expressed his thoughts on Fury’s return to boxing. While talking to FightHype.com, the promoted stated, “I think Tyson Fury is gonna wait to see how the Anthony Joshua fight comes out with Oleksandr Usyk, then make a determination whether he wants to continue. Other than fighting the winner of Usyk vs Joshua, there’s nothing really of interest to Fury.”

Fury mentioned in the press conference after the fight, “You know big Francis Ngannou was here today, he’s on my hitlist. In an exhibition fight, however, wants in a cage, in the boxing ring, boxing gloves, UFC gloves, we can make it happen. I think everyone says he’s a monstrous guy, I’m a monster of a guy, so it’ll be a clash for sure.”
