Tyson Fury wants to fight Oleksandr Usyk next and would provide “huge problems” for his fellow heavyweight champion in a unification bout, says his UK promoter Frank Warren.
Following another clinical Usyk display against Anthony Joshua in their WBO, WBA and IBF title rematch, attention quickly turned to a mouth-watering duel to be crowned the division’s number one – and both fighters have talked up the prospect.
Usyk said after his split decision victory over Joshua that he would only defend his titles against Fury, while the WBC champion suggested he would be open to ending his short-lived retirement to take on the similarly unbeaten Ukrainian.
Warren has now confirmed that Fury has his mind fully focused on a Usyk fight, with the only question marks over where it will take place.
“There were talks before the [AJ] fight and Tyson had to make his mind up,” Warren told Sky Sports.
