Although retired since this April, Tyson Fury tops the ESPN heavyweight (unlimited) divisional ranking, still one step ahead of the Ukrainian champ. On the other end, Oleksandr Usyk just had two back-to-back fights with and victories over Anthony Joshua. In spite of the boxers the Ukrainian has conquered, including the likes of Tony Bellew, Anthony Joshua, and Murat Gassiev, there is still one fight Usyk must have in order to call himself the best heavyweight of his time.

Undoubtedly, that fight concerns ‘The Gypsy King’. As per the beliefs of the boxing community, Oleksandr Usyk must test his skills against Tyson Fury and settle the debate once and for all. However, Usyk, who has for long not spent times away from the gym, at present, asks for a vacation.

Although Usyk gave clear indications of not fighting Fury this year, Fury is in a hurry to announce his comeback fight “next week“. Fury, who earlier had demanded $500 Million to make a return, seems ready to suffer a loss and settle for way less than half-a-billi and take the Usyk fight before this year saw an end.

Tyson Fury to declare a fight next week

Prior to the Joshua vs. Usyk II fight, a significant group belonging to boxing expected a Tyson Fury comeback to meet the winner of the said fight. Now that there is a winner, why should there be a wait? Having won the fight against Joshua, Usyk demanded Fury. Although they both want to fight one another, Usyk is not likely to fight again this year.
