Fury and Usyk can possibly collide in a four-belt unification fight, a bout that can label the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis. However, several factors can turn it off. Besides Dillian Whyte’s WBC mandatory spot, former champion Anthony Joshua also has a massive role in the whole plot.

Following his loss against Usyk for the heavyweight titles, AJ is reportedly assigned a rematch. But several reports verify that he can walk away and let Fury and Usyk compete for the undisputed fight. Joshua hasn’t announced anything officially. Hence, Fury-Usyk is still up in the air. Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk have recently scored historic titles win under a gap of two months. They can take a lay-off and rightly return in a while.

 Anthony Joshua needs to come up with a solution. If he demands the re-match, we can expect Usyk in action in mid-2022. In a different case, Usyk can opt to defend his belt or unify it against Tyson Fury.

As for ‘The Gypsy King’, Dillian Whyte holds the key to bringing him in flow. But ‘The Body Snatcher’ is just one of the names on a long list of opponents. Fury can wait and see how the whole scene plays out and then decide on his comeback plans.
