Frank Warren has ruled out a potential opponent for Tyson Fury’s next fight.
The WBC champion was last in the ring against Derek Chisora in December, earning a TKO victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Fury has since been in talks over possible fights with both Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua but failed to finalise an agreement, leaving the lineal heavyweight champion without an opponent for a proposed date in September.
A relatively new name was put to promoter Frank Warren in a recent interview, where it was suggested that undefeated Filip Hrgovic could be a viable option for Fury. However, Warren shut down the idea and called on Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn to name Hrgovic as Joshua’s next opponent.
