Tyson Fury Eyes Other Heavyweights as Anthony Joshua Talks Stall Ahead of November Showdown
AI Summary
Tyson Fury has identified three potential heavyweights to face in November if his anticipated super-fight with Anthony Joshua fails to materialize. The bout is set for November 20 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, yet negotiations have hit a snag.
Eddie Hearn, Joshua's promoter, indicated that AJ's contract stipulates a fight in the UK, while Frank Warren, Fury's promoter, claimed that the Gypsy King's agreement allows for more flexibility.
Regardless of the ongoing negotiations, Shane Fury confirmed that his brother will be in the ring on November 20, with Tyson asserting,
"One thing for sure is I won’t wait for a sausage, who has been knocked spark out by Daniel Dubois, for long."
Fury expressed frustration with the situation, stating,
"I will move on, and there are plenty of world champions out there who do want to fight and do want to make some money."
He named the following potential opponents:
- Agit Kabayel
- Filip Hrgovic
- Daniel Dubois
Notably, Dubois is scheduled to fight Fabio Wardley on October 17 at the O2 Arena, potentially ruling him out for November. Hrgovic recently fought on Saturday, defeating Moses Itauma to win the vacant IBF title.
Fury, aged 38, last fought in July, stopping 47-year-old Mariusz Wach in the seventh round. Conversely, Joshua, 37, defeated Kristian Prenga in just two rounds, albeit after being knocked down twice in the first.
With uncertainty surrounding the Joshua fight, Fury remains ready to take on any challenger willing to step into the ring.
