For many decades now, the heavyweight division of boxing has been one of the best. In the modern era, technicians like Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk, Anthony Joshua, and more rank as the elite names of the division. These are the names that will fight for the belts in 2022 and fans are eager to see them collide for all the world titles.

Bob Arum, Fury’s US promoter, spoke to iFL TV and spilled the beans on Fury’s fight plan for 2022, including Joshua and Usyk in the big picture.

“Tyson will just have to fight for the ring magazine title. He’ll save the sanction fee money. Hopefully, he’ll be successful. And then Usyk and Joshua will have fought and the winner will be out there, and he’ll go on to fight them, with or without the WBC title. So you know the loser is going to be, without any question, Dillian Whyte,” he said.

Whyte, the WBC interim heavyweight champ, was in the forefront to face Fury. However, as his team wasn’t quite able to iron out a deal with ‘The Gypsy King’s team, Arum seems to have moved on.

Tyson Fury has a sublime interest in facing Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk

The heavyweight title scenario has turned quite interesting ever since Oleksandr Usyk beat ‘AJ’. Fury has a deep interest in facing both the men, as these fights will go on to cement his legacy.

On top of this, Tyson Fury has hinted at retirement many times. As a result, he will be eager to have an undisputed fight against either ‘AJ’ or ‘The Cat’ before he signs off from pro-boxing.
