Fury's father: If not Joshua, then Ruiz, Ortiz or Hrgovic

John Fury, father Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs), listed potential replacement candidates Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs). AJ is still Fury's top choice, but time is running out, the December 3 date is fast approaching, and the former two-time world champion's team still hasn't returned the signed contract.

At the same time, allegedly Manuel Charr (33-4, 19 KOs) has already signed a preliminary contract and is waiting for the development of the situation. But the father of the world champion according to the World Boxing Council does not even consider such an option. Instead, he offers stronger names - Andy Ruiz (35-2, 22 KOs), Luis Ortiz (33-3, 28 KOs) and Filip Hrgovic (15-0, 12 KOs). The Croatian is the mandatory contender for the IBF belt.

“This year my son is no longer going to fight Joshua. Therefore, we are looking for other potential rivals. Guys like Andy Ruiz, Luis Ortiz and Filip Hrgovic are our Plan B,” says John Fury.
