Having conquered Deontay Wilder, WBC champion Tyson Fury now wants a piece of every other A-lister in the existing heavyweight division. Following a successful WBC title defense in October 2021, he was expected to go on a long hiatus. However, he is preparing for an imminent comeback.

As the complex title picture appears to lack potential opponents for ‘The Gypsy King’, Fury is in talks to meet several names with no positive outcome. Hence, a frustrated WBC champion took to Twitter to issue a fresh warning to Anthony Joshua, Dillian Whyte, and Oleksandr Usyk.

Tyson Fury posted two clips.

In the first video, he said, “I am just gonna keep videoing until one of these cowards decide to fight. You’re all cowards, S***house bums. I don’t care who I fight. AJ, Usyk, Dillian Whyte, or any of them. Fight Me. I am the best man that has ever lived.”

Fury threw strong words in the second video, and wrote, “Joshua is a coward. Usyk is a p***y. Whyte don’t want to fight. Pack of wet lettuces.”

 

According to reports, Oleksandr Usyk (WBA, WBO, and IBF champion) can stage an undisputed title fight against Tyson Fury next. Former unified champion Anthony Joshua also has a multi-million step aside offer from his re-match clause against Usyk. However, AJ has denied the same as of now.

Is Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte the most ideal fight?

Tyson Fury holds the WBC world title and Dillian Whyte holds the WBC Interim belt. Thus, they both should clash in a WBC-unification fight. Fury’s promoter Bob Arum wants to make it happen.

Per reports, Whyte was unhappy with the financial offerings. Fury’s team had offered him an 80/20 or 85/15 purse split.

Bob Arum outlined his plans for the division’s future with Fury fighting Whyte, and Joshua fighting Usyk. However, if Whyte doesn’t intend to do so, Arum also planned to pick either Andy Ruiz Jr. or Robert Helenius for his Brit client.

That said, Tyson Fury has a lot of names to look at, especially after he called out UFC champion Francis Ngannou for a mega clash. Who do you think will make it against ‘The Gypsy King’?
