Tyson Fury Next Fight: 3 Opponents For ‘Gypsy King’ Including Anthony Joshua

In one of boxing’s most entertaining heavyweight fights in recent memory, Oleksandr Usyk handed Tyson Fury his first loss to add the WBC belt and join the WBA, IBF, IBO, WBO, and The Ring straps he already owned. It was the rare super-fight that lived up to the hype and had fans clamoring for more.

What Happened: From the gate, the Ukranian began closing the distance and landing straight punches to the body. However, Fury was able to take control of the fight after managing his distance with jabs and using his uppercut to hold back Usyk’s offense. 

The smaller man rallied after the midpoint to retake the momentum, nearly finishing Fury in the seventh round. The knockdown played a huge role in his eventual split-decision victory.

The Fallout: Fury has hinted at retirement for years and even had an abbreviated one not long ago, however, all signs point toward him looking to avenge the lone loss on his impressive resume before his career comes to a close.
