The heavyweight division of boxing is cluttered with some of the most exciting match-ups for the near future. Recently, Oleksandr Usyk defeated British boxer Anthony Joshua in their rematch. Following that, it was certain that Tyson Fury would come out of retirement to fight Usyk. However, now there seems some change of plans for the Fury vs. Usyk clash. 

Oleksandr Usyk’s manager Egis Klimas stated, “Usyk is not like Tyson Fury. He’s looking for the winners not looking for the losers.”

Furthermore, he also mentioned that the Ukrainian fighter is looking forward to fight the winner of Deontay Wilder vs. Robert Helenius. Interestingly, ‘The Gypsy King’ is in talks to square off against fellow British fighter Anthony Joshua by the end of the year. 

There’s a buzz that the bout will take place on December 3rd, at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. However, there have been speculations that Fury is trying to avoid a potential fight with Usyk in the light of his clash with AJ. 

Is Tyson Fury trying to avoid his clash against Oleksandr Usyk? 

Usyk and Fury have a chance to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of boxing. This title was last possessed by boxing legend Lennox Lewis almost two decades back. But Fury’s decision to fight AJ first has raised questions among fans whether Fury is hesitating to fight Usyk or not.

Former British boxer Tony Bellew has speculated about Fury’s decision to fight AJ and he said, “I don’t want to say he doesn’t fancy it against Oleksandr Usyk but let’s be honest, it’s not an easy proposition is it? He’s had two opportunities now to face Oleksandr Usyk, and he’s knocked them both back. That’s not my opinion, that’s a fact. For someone who is a so-called middleweight, I don’t see what the problem is.”
