Fury Challenges Usyk, Doubts Joshua Fight in November
Tyson Fury announced he is looking for a new opponent for a fight in November and has challenged Oleksandr Usyk to a third match, creating uncertainty regarding his anticipated heavyweight bout with Anthony Joshua. Both Fury and Joshua have signed contracts for the fight, but an official announcement has been postponed due to disagreements over the venue.
Joshua's contract requires the fight to occur in the UK, while organizers Sela and Netflix prefer Madison Square Garden in New York. Eddie Hearn, Joshua's promoter, is renegotiating aspects of the agreement.
Fury accused Joshua of backing out and stated, “I am now looking for a new opponent.” He urged Usyk to fight him again in November. Meanwhile, London Mayor Sadiq Khan has advocated for hosting the fight at Wembley Stadium, with Hearn indicating that discussions about staging it in Britain have reopened.
However, progress has reportedly stalled, casting further doubt on the fight's timeline.
