Tyson Fury named the closest opponent in 2023
True, before signing a contact for the fight is still far away.
WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury will face Derek Chisora on December 3rd. But now the Briton is making long-term plans.
According to Fury, he is set to fight three fights in 2023, although heavyweights usually fight no more than two fights during the year.
Fury plans to enter the ring for the first time in 2023 in early March, and already knows against whom.
“At the top of the list of my opponents is Oleksandr Usyk. This is a fight where I don't gain anything, but too many people want to see this beating, ” said Fury, who previously declared zero interest in this confrontation.
The managers of the Ukrainian champion also previously stated that after the December fight, Fury would be ready to discuss with his representatives a contract for a duel in the spring of 2023. So, the audience can still see the unification fight of the two champions.
If the parties fail to agree, Tyson Fury intends to challenge Joe Joyce and fight him at the legendary Wembley.
