Since the negotiation deal between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk fell apart, nobody has any idea who Fury’s next opponent is. Even, Usyk has moved on to his mandatory opponent, Daniel Dubois. But in the case of Fury, he doesn’t even have a mandated bout lined up for him. The WBC is looking in the direction of organizing a title eliminator between Deontay Wilder and Andy Ruiz Jr. So, that they can place the winner of the bout, against Fury. But, Fury wants to fight now, as his last fight was back in December against Derek Chisora.
The restlessness of Fury aligns with that of his fans. But there seems to be a ray of hope as Fury made an Instagram Post where he talked about an exciting announcement regarding his next bout. In addition, his promoter, Frank Warren, has also come forward where he talked in detail about the prospects of Fury’s next fight.
