Tyson Fury has declared that he will take on Joe Joyce if he can't make a fight with Oleksandr Usyk happen in the early part of next year.
The world heavyweight champion has always found it difficult to stay active when champion, with coronavirus restrictions and mental health issues scuppering his past plans after winning gold. But he managed to get two title defences in within a six-month period when he had a trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder followed by a mandatory defence against Dillian Whyte over the past year.
And the Brit is hoping that he can get a quick turnaround from his fight with Derek Chisora on December 3 and face Usyk for the undisputed title in February. However, if that doesn't happen he has a back-up plan in Joyce, who he believes to be the second best heavyweight in the world.
