Boxing’s heavyweight title plot thickens

The drug: Fury, who beat Dillian Whyte to retain the WBC world title in April, said that it was unlikely he would fight again. But not everyone took his words at face value.

Professional boxing’s heavyweight division at the moment is the most interesting it has been in years. 

Three fascinating characters currently dominate the main-event space: Oleksandr Usyk, Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. And the enticing possibility of an undisputed heavyweight champion finally being crowned doesn’t look remote anymore; indeed, there’s a real chance it will happen.
