Frank Warren is struggling to find the next opponent for Tyson Fury. According to promoter Warren, all the fighters team Fury wanted are currently engaged in other upcoming fights and lack room for ‘The Gypsy King’. Although Zhilei Zhang, after his latest win over Joe Joyce, expressed his innermost desire to face Tyson Fury, the Chinese boxer now has an obligation towards rematching ‘Juggernaut’ after the rematch clause was recently activated by Joyce.
Meanwhile, there were also talks about a fight between Andy Ruiz Jr. and Tyson Fury. However, due to “financial demands“, Warren informed the potential bout between Ruiz Jr. and Fury is at a standstill. At this, team Fury stands empty-handed for the time being.
