WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury teased some massive fights for 2021 and thrilled the entire boxing community. It’s obvious he is eyeing a fight against unified champion Anthony Joshua. However, Tyson Fury got much more in store.
If the undisputed heavyweight title fight doesn’t happen by any chance, the trilogy against Deontay Wilder will remain on the charts.
That said, AJ vs Fury is still the most probable heavyweight clash as 2020 draws to a close. Both the Britishers have registered their world championships in style and successfully overcame the year (2020) with one win each.
