Tyson Fury Must Defeat Usyk to Face Joshua

Tyson Fury is backing Daniel Dubois in his upcoming bout against Anthony Joshua, scheduled for September 21 at Wembley Stadium. Dubois, recently elevated to IBF heavyweight champion, could set the stage for a future fight with Fury or Oleksandr Usyk, who defeated Fury in May. Fury's manager, Spencer Brown, emphasized that Fury must win his rematch with Usyk on December 21 to keep hopes alive for a clash against Joshua. The ongoing rivalry between Joshua and Fury has been complicated by their respective recent losses to Usyk, and the potential for their long-awaited bout hinges on both winning their upcoming fights. Brown noted that Fury is making training adjustments ahead of the rematch, stressing the importance of the fight for Fury's future plans. The potential clash between Fury and Joshua, once considered a marquee event, may be fading as both fighters approach their mid-30s.
