We will see Tyson Fury back in the ring despite retirement plans, says analyst

If so, Fury retires with 32 wins from 33 bouts in a career that has lasted 14 years. His standout wins are over Deontay Wilder (twice), Wladimir Klitschko and Dillian Whyte.

With talks of the Ukrainian's potential bout with Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez off the table after his recent loss to Dmitry Bivol, a second win against Joshua would leave Fury as the only acceptable option in the eyes of fans for Usyk.

"You wouldn't imagine he would come in more than 220lbs. Then if Fury weights in more than he did against Dillian Whyte which was 18st 12lbs, then he's gonna be three stone heavier than him and that's a lot."
