Tyson Fury hasn’t competed in the ring since his incredible 7th-round TKO over Deontay Wilder in early 2020. Since that time, boxing fans around the world have been debating who should be next for “The Gypsy King.” New reports claim that Tyson Fury’s next opponent could be Deontay Wilder.
Some will be surprised to hear this news. Tyson Fury has been adamant that he will never compete against Wilder in the ring again. Today, we’ll talk about why the champion might be changing his mind.
Let’s get into it!
Boxing’s Best Heavyweights are Waiting to Have Fights Scheduled
The heavyweight division in boxing is better right now than ever before. There are a huge number of incredible fighters now competing in this division. It seems likely that fans will be treated to some massive heavyweight bouts taking place over the next nine months.
Most agree that Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder are the two best heavyweight fighters alive. Fury is now 30-0-1 in his professional career and holds the WBC heavyweight title. Joshua is 24-1 in his career and holds four different world heavyweight titles.
There are plenty of other elite heavyweights looking to earn title shots right now. Many have yet to see their next bouts announced. That is beginning to change and fans will soon be treated to some massive fights.
One that is drawing attention is the clash between Andy Ruiz and Chris Arreola. Ruiz is the only man to defeat Anthony Joshua and seems focused on avenging the loss in the rematch. Arreola is now 40 years old and will likely come into this bout as a massive betting underdog from all online sports betting sites.
Many are also interested in the heavyweight bout between Paul Gallen and Lucas Browne. These two Australia-based fighters are looking to crack into the international title picture. A win in this bout is necessary to make that happen.
No fighter has quite the following behind them like Tyson Fury. This week, we heard more about who Fury could be taking on next.
Here’s Another Update on Tyson Fury’s Next Opponent
Tyson Fury’s comeback has been incredible to see. After retirement from the sport and ballooning up to 330 pounds, he announced he wanted to make a return to the sport. Most wrote him off as any kind of title challenger.
Fury didn’t look for an easy return fight. Instead, he went straight into a title bout against one of the scariest knockout artists in the sport, Deontay Wilder. Many fans predicted that Wilder would finish Fury within just a few rounds.
Instead, these men fought to a draw. A rematch took place two years later and this time Fury stopped Wilder in the seventh round. Since that time, he’s been inactive from the sport of boxing.
We’re now beginning to hear more about who Tyson Fury’s next opponent could be. “The Gypsy King” himself offered some hints at who he may be facing next. To the surprise of many fans, he claims that a trilogy bout against Wilder is not out of the question.
“There’s a lot of things going on that people don’t know about behind the scenes that can scupper the fight. We’re nowhere near that at the moment. I’ve got two fights this year; I don’t care who the f*** it is. I don’t care,” he said. “Don’t write Wilder off on the occasion. He could be fighting me next; who knows? I could have the third trilogy with Wilder yet. There’s a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes. Wilder might be next; who knows? I intend on staying there and ending my career over there.”
A third fight with Deontay Wilder would certainly be interesting. Both of the previous two bouts between these men were fantastic. Many are curious to see if Deontay can adjust his style to better compete against Tyson Fury. Stay tuned for more updates on Tyson Fury’s next opponent over the next few months!
What is Next For Anthony Joshua?
There has been a huge amount of attention placed on Tyson Fury lately. He hasn’t competed in more than a year and just about everyone wants to see him back in the ring. Fortunately, it seems that this will happen sooner than later.
Many fans have been calling for Tyson Fury to fight against Anthony Joshua for years. Both these men hail from the UK and are considered the two best heavyweights alive. A fight between them may be one of the biggest in heavyweight boxing history.
It doesn’t seem as if Joshua will be the next opponent for Tyson Fury. Instead, he seems interested in another defense of his world titles. That could come against Ukrainian knockout artist Oleksandr Usyk.
Usyk has looked great since moving to the heavyweight division. He is now 18-0 in his professional career and seems like the most logical man for Anthony Joshua to face next. He’s the much smaller man and will likely come into this fight as a huge underdog.
It seems that Tyson Fury’s next opponent could be Deontay Wilder. This is an exciting trilogy fight for the heavyweight division. Stay tuned for more updates on this possible bout over the next few weeks!
