World boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk, has contacted Tyson Fury.
Usyk made it plain that after defeating Anthony Joshua one more, he intends to face heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury next.
In their rematch on Saturday night in Saudi Arabia, the unbeaten Ukrainian prevailed by split decision despite Joshua’s valiant effort.
Usyk successfully defended the IBF, WBO and WBA belts he took from Joshua last September in London, adding the Ring Magazine title, vacated by Fury last week, to his collection in Jeddah.
Despite repeatedly insisting he is retired from boxing after his stunning knockout win over Dillian Whyte in April, Fury still holds the WBC title.
And Usyk is confident the Gypsy King will not be able to resist the opportunity to come back and meet him in a fight to crown the heavyweight division’s first undisputed champion since Lennox Lewis.
“I am sure that Tyson Fury is not retired yet. I am convinced that he wants to fight me,” Usyk said after his victory against Joshua.
“I want to fight him and if I’m not fighting Tyson Fury, I am not fighting at all.”
