WBC heavyweight champion promoter Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs), the head of the Top Rank promotional organization, Bob Arum, said that the Briton has not yet made a final decision on whether to continue his sports career.

In April, Fury knocked out Dillian Whyte, announced his retirement and went on a family vacation to France, where he trained and rested. He returned home last week. Meanwhile, Arum claims that we will still see the King of the Gypsies fight for the absolute championship.

“I think Fury will wait for the result of the second fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua. Then he will make a decision, choose between continuing his career and retiring,” Arum said.

“Apart from the fight with the winner of the Usyk-Joshua II confrontation, there are no interesting options for Fury,” added the head of Top Rank.

On July 23, Usyka, the IBF, WBA and WBO world champion, will have a rematch with Joshua. The Ukrainian defeated the Briton in September last year.
