Tyson Fury, the reigning WBC heavyweight titleholder and lineal heavyweight champion, has set his sights on a lofty goal: fighting ten more times in his career. With ESPN’s Mike Coppinger reporting his intentions, Fury’s plan for his next four fights has gained attention.
Scheduled to face Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight title on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Fury’s path forward seems ambitious yet calculated. However, complications arise due to the rematch clause, likely resulting in the winner being stripped of the IBF title for failing to meet the organization’s No. 1 contender.
A rematch between Fury and Usyk is almost certain for October in Riyadh. Meanwhile, contenders Filip Hrgovic and Daniel DuBois are poised to vie for the soon-to-be vacated IBF title on June 1, with Anthony Joshua likely awaiting the winner for a September showdown.
Looking ahead, Fury envisions facing Joshua twice in 2025, provided Joshua claims the IBF title. If this unfolds as planned, these bouts could potentially be for the undisputed title, solidifying Fury’s legacy as one of the greatest heavyweight champions in history.
With a hypothetical record of 38-0-1 and a significant number of wins by stoppage, Fury’s dominance would be undeniable. Having defeated every notable fighter in his era at least twice – including Deontay Wilder, Joshua, and Usyk – Fury’s resume would rival or surpass any heavyweight champion before him.
However, realizing this ambitious goal won’t come without challenges. Usyk’s speed and counter-punching prowess pose a formidable threat, while Joshua’s resurgence adds another layer of difficulty. Joshua’s recent victories have showcased his revitalized form, making him a daunting opponent for Fury.
As Fury approaches his 36th birthday in August, questions linger about his ability to maintain peak physical condition and deliver elite performances against the division’s best for another year and throughout his proposed 10-fight plan.
Despite the hurdles ahead, Fury’s determination to carve out a legendary legacy in boxing’s heavyweight division is unmistakable. Whether he can navigate through the trials and emerge victorious remains to be seen, but his journey promises to be captivating for boxing fans worldwide.
