Fury insists on multi-million dollars Joshua bout

Daniel Dubois’ upset win against Anthony Joshua on Saturday has not only foiled his rival’s big-fight plans but also shaken up the entire division, the BBC reported, yesterday.

Joshua was expected to battle with Tyson Fury in a fight worth over £50 million for each of the fighters, but AJ’s loss seem to have scuttled the plans.

There is only one world title fight that we know for sure is happening – Usyk-Fury 2 in Saudi Arabia on 21 December.The fight holds the key to the future of the division.
 
Fury is out for revenge, his legacy hinging on whether he can come back and beat Oleksandr Usyk. But Usyk, with a win, could convincingly cement his place as this era’s best heavyweight.

Victory for Fury might trigger a third and deciding fight. Could that mean a belt would be vacated like Usyk gave up the IBF title after the undisputed fight in May?

None of the other leading heavyweights have fights scheduled. Joseph Parker, Dubois, and Joshua will wait to see what happens in December before making a decision.

No mandatory challenger is waiting in the wings after Usyk vacated the IBF belt. The answers to what might happen next will come from the negotiations and jockeying for position among this group, but probably not until after Fury and Usyk fight.

Team Dubois says that the 27-year-old heavyweight will take the rest of the year off after four fights in 13 months. A second fight with AJ is on the cards, although there is no automatic rematch clause available to Joshua as previously thought.
