The original Saudi idea of a big boxing night earlier in the year has come back to life. This time the topic of discussion is not only the battle Anthony Joshua against Deontay Wilder, but also Tyson Fury against Oleksandr Usyk.
This idea was there initially, but after some time the focus shifted only to the fight between Anthony Joshua (26-3, 23 KOs) and Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs). At the moment, the championship belts in this weight category belong to Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) and Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs). The Ukrainian defends the IBF, WBA and WBO belts in Wroclaw on Saturday against Daniel Dubois (19-1, 18 KOs). The fourth title, according to the WBC, belongs to Fury.
“Now the idea is to have Fury and Usyk fight us in the same tournament for all the belts. It will be a great evening. Now I am working on technique and IQ in the ring. I believe that I am the best and I want to challenge anyone who can raise the bar high enough for me,” said Joshua, a former two-time world heavyweight champion.
