British boxer Tyson Fury has addressed circulating rumors about joining a mega tournament alongside Oleksandr Usyk, Anthony Joshua, and Deontay Wilder on his social media platform. He made it clear that the reports are not true.
Oleksandr Usyk recently fought in Saudi Arabia, defeating Anthony Joshua to secure the world titles across multiple major organizations. Usyk holds the IBF, WBO, IBO, and WBA belts, reinforcing his standing as one of the top heavyweights of his era.
Earlier this year, reports claimed a clash between Usyk and Fury was on the horizon, with discussions aimed at staging the bout in April. Negotiations to keep the rivalries active began in late 2022, but financial terms created a stalemate that prevented an agreement from materializing. The situation underscores how discussions at the highest level of boxing can stall when the economics do not align with the ambitions of all parties involved.
Former Ukrainian fighter Ivan Redkach has commented publicly about Usyk, adding another perspective to the ongoing conversation surrounding the Ukrainian champion and his upcoming plans inside the ring. The public chatter around Usyk, Fury, and potential crossovers continues to energize fans across North America.
