Usyk prefers to fight Fury over Joshua

Alexander Usik (19-0, 13 KOs) is awaiting a decision on his near future in sports. In theory, a Ukrainian is obliged to take revenge with Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KO), but the British team has not yet contacted him about this duel, and rumors began to circulate in the media that A.J. might agree to a duel between Usik and Tyson Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs) for four heavyweight belts to face his winner. Such a scenario would be convenient for Usik.

“Of course I would like Joshua to step aside, because it would be one step less for me to fight for the overall title,” the WBA, WBO and IBF champion told Fighthype, and when asked how he will beat his rival Fury, replied shortly: "I would beat him beautifully."

For now, however, it looks like the prospect of a unification fight in the Royal Division will be slightly delayed because last week the WBC obliged Fury to defend the title with Dillian White (28-2, 19 KOs).
