Tyson Fury sees big changes coming in heavyweight boxing. The former champ thinks new faces will soon take over the division.
The heavyweight scene's changing fast. Fury, once the WBC champ, retired in January after losing his belts to Oleksandr Usyk in May 2024 and failing to win them back in December. But he's not done yet. Fury's been calling out Usyk for a trilogy fight next April, hinting at a comeback.
Anthony Joshua's career's winding down too. He's pushing 40 and got knocked out by Daniel Dubois last September. Fans expect he's only got a few fights left.
Usyk's the champ right now, but at 38, he won't be around forever. Derek Chisora's also planning to hang up his gloves after his 50th fight.
With the old guard stepping back, new stars are stepping up. Moses Itauma, just 20 years old, is making waves. He's set to face Dillian Whyte in August after knocking out both Mariusz Wach and Demsey McKean in two rounds each.
But Fury's really excited about Agit Kabayel. In a recent interview, Fury couldn't stop praising the 32-year-old German fighter.
"F*** that, f*** fighting him. Agit's taking over now, it's takeover time."
Kabayel's been on a tear lately. He stopped Zhilei Zhang with a body shot in February, and he's also beaten Frank Sánchez, Arslanbek Makhmudov, and Derek Chisora. Now, he's got his sights set on Usyk.
The heavyweight division's changing fast. The big names we're used to are stepping back, and new fighters are ready to take their place. It's an exciting time for boxing fans, with fresh faces and new matchups on the horizon.
