The undisputed fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk is one of the most awaited matchups in the sport. Even though representatives from both sides were involved in negotiations for the fight, eventually, the negotiations fell out. And both the heavyweights seemed to have moved on from their sensational matchup. Oleksandr Usyk is expected to defend his title against mandatory challenger Daniel Dubois. At the same time, Tyson Fury’s next fight is still a mystery for the fans. The fans await the reigning WBC heavyweight champion to make his return to the boxing ring. But it seems like they will have to wait some more.
Fury was expected to fight an opponent this summer, but Top Rank promoter Bob Arum has made a bold claim with respect to the Brit.

Another fan believes that heavyweight boxing is “dead” and everyone is playing the game of avoiding each other.
Heavyweight boxing is dead the quality of all the fighters on the scene at the moment is very poor compared to past fighters. All claim to be the best but continually avoid each other. There’s more talk than action each blaming each other. Non will be greats
