Speaking of “what is likely to be happening” in contemporary heavyweight boxing, Jordan suggested Fury, Usyk, Joshua, and Wilder fighting in the Middle East in December 2023. According to Jordan’s theory, the winners of the fights shall collide once again in an “ultimate showdown” in the ring. As per Jordan’s theory, this is why Joshua declared he will return to the ring in December 2023. While Usyk will have to win against his mandatory challenger in Daniel Dubois, Jordan strongly believes Fury will return in 2023 to avoid a 12-month absence from boxing.

Three fights being made which is Fury vs Usyk, Wilder vs Joshua, and the two winners of those fights meeting again in the Middle East for the ultimate showdown. That would align with the dynamic of the reasons why Anthony Joshua isn’t fighting until December,” stated Jordan on talkBOXING. “He [Fury] will [fight in the summer]. What I’m led to believe is he will get out against Andy Ruiz,” added Jordan saying.
