Tyson Fury will fight Anthony Joshua regardless of whether he beats Oleksandr Usyk, a lineup that will please millions of boxing fans around the world.
This is the view of Fury’s manager, Spencer Brown, who is adamant that Turki Alalshikh – the man who controls the biggest purse strings in boxing – will wantFuryto fight AJ no matter the outcome on Saturday, May 18.
“It doesn’t matter whether Tyson wins, loses or draws, it doesn’t matter – Turki Alalshikh still wants him to fightAnthony Joshua,”he toldOLBG. “Simple as that – whether he wins, whether he loses, or whether he draws, the fight he wants is that fight [against AJ], so he will go after that fight.”
“I’m sure we will see Tyson Fury versus Anthony Joshua. When Tyson beats Usyk that fight is enormous, it’s bigger than big, isn’t it?
“The Saudis have mentioned it to me – and mentioned it to all of us – the first one would be in Riyadh and if there was a taste for a second one, they would put it on at Wembley. Imagine that.”
“I don’t thinkTyson Furyand Anthony Joshua, in my opinion, will happen next because we have a rematch clause withUsyk. But it’s all down to Turki’s wallet.
“We’ve got a few scenarios here, is Usyk vs Joshua a fight we want to see again? Or do we all want to see Fury vs Joshua? When Usyk loses, does he say ‘I’ll take the step aside and then fight the winner’? Personally, probably yes.”
“Tyson Fury will mentally not be able to get over getting beaten by this ‘short, jumped up, gapped teeth cruiserweight’.”
