Tyson Fury hasn’t had any opponents locked up since his last bout against Derek Chisora last year. Well, Fury has been facing some issues in finalizing his opponents, but still, he’s assured the boxing fans that he’d be announcing his next fight real soon. Well, there are many prospects that are waiting for Fury as of now. There’s Oleksandr Usyk, with whom the negotiations fell apart in April, and now Usyk is looking towards his mandatory opponent, Daniel Dubois for a fight. But hopefully, both fighters may come around to go against each other. Next on the list is Anthony Joshua, well even with him the talks fell flat.

However, Joshua’s team has announced that he’s currently on the lookout for an opponent for his August contest. While Fury is planning to do a bout in September, there’s a potential match-up that could take place. Besides this, on his trip to Australia back in May, Fury showed interest in fighting in Australia, and that’s when he got an offer from the team of Demsey McKean.

So McKean could also be the surprise on his Instagram Post. As Fury wrote, “Cant wait for you all to see what ive got coming for you guys its show stopping“. In addition, WBC also hasn’t mandated any opponent for ‘Gypsy King’, as they’re trying to set up the title eliminator between Deontay Wilder and Andy Ruiz Jr.

Besides this, Fury also has a couple of crossover fights against Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou. And once on his social media, he even remarked about fighting both these MMA fighters on one single night. So there’s a chance this may happen. Well, there can be a lot of names that could end up besides Fury’s name for his September bout. But it seems like the fans have grown tired of Fury’s fights getting postponed, as it has already been almost 7 months since Fury hopped inside the boxing ring.
