The inevitable clash between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua is making some serious progress. Their promotions are working pretty well in order to iron out all the possible stuff for this fight. Oleksandr Usyk, who was assumed to be a major roadblock for this fight, is getting settled with another bout to let this epic encounter take place.

Frank Warren of Queensberry Promotions, who partially manages Tyson Fury, reflected some light on this fight. Speaking to talkSPORT, he said, “They’ve written to all parties concerned and they’ve basically said they want our input regarding the fight.”

“But Usyk himself will not be able to get in the way of Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.”

Oleksandr Usyk was keen on pursuing his path for the mandatory WBO title-challenge against Anthony Joshua. This step from the Ukrainian boxer could have hampered the Joshua vs Fury fight for a while. But Warren asserted that Joe Joyce is atop-contender to get in line against Usyk.

Warren also revealed that if the Joyce vs Usyk fight takes place, it will be for the WBO interim belt. The winner of this fight will confront the winner of ‘AJ’ vs the ‘Gypsy King’.

This would entice both Joyce and Usyk as by biding their time, they could challenge for all the belts once the dust from the Fury vs Joshua wars settle.
