WBC Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury upped the ante at his press conference yesterday, injecting intrigue into the heavyweight picture beyond his upcoming fight with Oleksandr Usyk on May 18th. While Usyk remains the immediate focus, Fury’s comments regarding Anthony Joshua sent ripples through the internet. Joshua, who has twice fallen short against Usyk, could potentially face the winner of this mega-fight.

However, Fury’s remarks suggested a personal agenda. He colorfully referred to Joshua as a “useless sausage” and confidently predicted not one, but two future bouts with the former champion. This, however, was followed by a claim of no animosity towards Joshua, casting a layer of ambiguity over his true intentions. Then he again made a bizarre yet hilarious statement when asked about Joshua’s improved form in his recent fights.

Tyson Fury doesn’t pay much heed to his fellow boxers

During Tyson Fury’s recent media appearance, he tried to keep away from the questions regarding Anthony Joshua and tried to keep his focus on Usyk. However, when pressed by reporters about Joshua’s improvements under his new coach, Fury unleashed a characteristically flamboyant response to Ben Davidson. “I don’t know, it’s not like he’s my boyfriend is it?” Fury quipped, injecting a dose of humor into the tense pre-fight atmosphere.

He also added, “Like I’m studying him every night like, ‘Oh my god I like your muscles man.’ I’ve got my own wife and kids to look after, not focus on other men’s careers.” His playful dismissal, delivered with a hint of mock seriousness underscored his unwavering self-confidence. Fury’s comments, while lighthearted, serve a strategic purpose. By downplaying any interest in Joshua’s training, he maintains the focus on his own upcoming challenge against Usyk.

Moreover, the playful jab subtly belittles Joshua’s efforts, suggesting the former unified champion hasn’t fazed the heavyweight champion. Still, all of this would matter because if Fury’s able to beat Oleksandr Usyk then he might face Anthony Joshua in a massive Wembley fight, as per Bob Arum.

The heavyweight landscape just got a whole lot more intriguing. Top Rank’s Bob Arum has ignited a firestorm of speculation, hinting at a potential mega-fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. This all-British clash, with the potential to be staged at the iconic Wembley Stadium, could be the culmination of Fury’s career, according to Arum. But there’s a twist.

Fury’s first hurdle remains the undisputed champion, Oleksandr Usyk, on May 18th. However, a win for Fury opens a pandora’s box of possibilities. Arum mentioned, “Looking at Tyson Fury, if he beats Usyk and fights Usyk again and beats him and then does a massive fight hopefully in the UK at Wembley Stadium against Joshua, that would really put an exclamation point to his great career.” However, Arum didn’t want to kill any alternative opportunities as well.

The Top Rank CEO was quite open to making this potential bout in Saudi Arabia if they’re open to hosting as big of an event as Fury vs. Joshua. What are your thoughts about this matchup? Where should it take place? Tell us in the comments section.
