“I’m coming!” Tyson Fury shares the big fight he wants next after he “beats” Anthony Joshua.
Tyson Fury hasn’t fought Anthony Joshua yet, but he’s already picked who he wants to face next after that fight.
The two British heavyweights are set to go head-to-head before the year ends in a much-anticipated match that fans have waited a long time for. Both are two-time world champions, and people have often wondered if they’d finally meet in the ring.
Joshua hasn’t fought since he was involved in a serious car accident last December, but he’s planning a comeback fight against Kristian Prenga in July. Prenga isn’t very well known but has an impressive record with 20 wins by stoppage and only one loss.
Fury’s last fight was an easy win over Arslanbek Makhmudov, and Joshua actually watched the fight in person. Fury hasn’t said if he’ll have a warm-up fight before facing Joshua, but from what he’s said recently, he might even be using that as practice for a rematch he really wants.
Fury and his old rival Oleksandr Usyk have been hinting at a third fight between them. Usyk became the first undisputed heavyweight champion in 25 years when he beat Fury in May 2024, and he also won their rematch in December 2024.
In a video shared by Saudi royal adviser Turki Alalshikh, Usyk said he’s ready to fight Fury again anywhere, even in Saudi Arabia. Fury seemed excited by this and in one video said, “I’m running like Rocky Balboa. After I beat Joshua, I want his coach. I want a rematch with the rabbit. Whether it’s London, Las Vegas, or New York City, I promise you, rabbit, you’ll get it.”
In another video, Fury added: “Greedy belly is ready for some rabbit pie. First, I’m knocking out chinless Anthony Joshua. Then I’m coming for the rabbit pie. It’s only me—the cash cow. If you want big fights, it’s not Kabayel, not Joshua, not Dubious, it’s the Gypsy King. London, New York, Las Vegas—let’s do this!”
A third fight between Fury and Usyk would definitely excite boxing fans and draw huge attention worldwide, even though Usyk has beaten Fury twice already. Usyk has said he’d like to face Fury, Verhoeven, and the winner of the Wardley-Dubois fight before he retires. Daniel Dubois recently came back from two knockdowns to win against Fabio Wardley in their heavyweight bout.
