Tyson Fury says he will fight Oleksandr Usyk in a blockbuster world heavyweight title unification showdown early next year. The ‘Gypsy King’ beat his old British rival Derek Chisora in 10 one-sided rounds to retain his WBC belt at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last night (December 3).
And Fury immediately called out Usyk, who was ringside in north London, yelling: “You’re next you little b***h. Let’s get it on.” Later Fury said the bout with Ukrainian Usyk, the reigning IBF, IBO, WBO and WBA champion, will probably take place in Saudi Arabia in February or March.
Plan B, Fury revealed, is Britain’s Joe Joyce, who currently holds the WBO interim heavyweight title and was also present at the Spurs ground. “I’m ready and willing to take on Usyk next,” said Fury. “Let’s give the fans one champion, one name, one face.
