WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) called on WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO title holder Oleksandr Usyk to fight in December 2022.

" You say you want the WBC title. It belongs to the Gypsy King. And he holds it tight, very tight. I will destroy you, middleweight. I'll crush you, middleweight.

You said you want to fight me after beating a bodybuilder. You challenged on TV. And now you will sing, boy who likes to command. You will run, hide, tell that you have an injury.

Let's do a fight in December, middleweight. But you're already starting to say something. It doesn't matter when the fight will be - in December, April or sometime next year. I'll finish you, middleweight. Find your balls and fight me bitch," Recall that Usyk said that the fight for the title of absolute world champion will not take place in 2022.. The Ukrainian intends to treat old injuries and recover from the rematch from Joshua, as well as spend time with his family.

On the night of August 21, 2022, Usyk defeated Joshua by split decision in a rematch, which took place in the city of Jeddah (Saudi Arabia). Thus, the Ukrainian defended all the titles taken from AJ last fall, and also won the vacant belt of The Ring magazine..

Fury on the night of April 24, 2022 knocked out his compatriot Dillian White and retained the WBC title, after which he announced his retirement.

Thus, in a potential fight between Usyk and Fury, four main belts (WBA, WBO, IBF, WBC) and the title of absolute world heavyweight champion will be at stake..

The 35-year-old Usyk has 20 wins (13 by knockout) in 20 fights. He held four of them in the heavyweight division.. Before that, Alexander became the absolute world champion in the cruiserweight (weight category up to 90.7 kg), having won all four of the most prestigious belts there..

The 33-year-old Fury has 32 wins (23 by knockout) and one draw.
