For many decades now, the heavyweight division of boxing has been one of the best. In the modern era, technicians like Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk, Anthony Joshua, and more rank as the elite names of the division. These are the names that will fight for the belts in 2022 and fans are eager to see them collide for all the world titles.
Bob Arum, Fury’s US promoter, spoke to iFL TV and spilled the beans on Fury’s fight plan for 2022, including Joshua and Usyk in the big picture.

“Tyson will just have to fight for the ring magazine title. He’ll save the sanction fee money. Hopefully, he’ll be successful. And then Usyk and Joshua will have fought and the winner will be out there, and he’ll go on to fight them, with or without the WBC title. So you know the loser is going to be, without any question, Dillian Whyte,” he said.
Whyte, the WBC interim heavyweight champ, was in the forefront to face Fury. However, as his team wasn’t quite able to iron out a deal with ‘The Gypsy King’s team, Arum seems to have moved on.
