SENSATION! Anthony Joshua SET A CONDITION FOR A REMATCH WITH Alexander Usyk Tyson Fury RETIREMENT
The head of the Matchroom Boxing promotion company, Eddie Hearn, commented on the words of the president of the World Boxing Council, Mauricio Suleiman, regarding the fact that their heavyweight champion Tyson Fury will not be stripped of the title for a year. Hearn does not believe that Tyson was going to retire at all, and also hopes that he will meet the winner of the rematch between Alexander Usyk and Tony Joshua. "I do not know what to tell you about this. Why does Tyson need time? He said he was already retired. He made a statement from which we all know that he has finished his career. I have no doubt that Fury will not vacate his title, and I also hope that he will meet the winner of the rematch between Joshua and Usyk. It's an amazing fight for his career," Hearn said. Recall that Tyson held his last fight on April 23 at Wembley Stadium in London, Great Britain, against Dillian White, whom he knocked out in the sixth round. After the fight, Fury announced his retirement. The president of the World Boxing Council (WBC) Mauricio Suleiman said that some time ago he talked with the former world heavyweight champion according to their version Deontay Wilder and the American is looking forward to his return to the ring. According to Suleiman, Deontay still occupies the first line of the rating, therefore, as soon as the current holder of this belt, Briton Theyson Fury, officially ends his career, Wilder will compete for the vacant title. "There is no doubt that Deontay will compete for the vacant title, because he ranks first in the ranking and is the main contender. I talked to him a few months ago. He's doing great and he's looking forward to resuming his boxing career," Suleiman said. Recall that Wilder has not held duels since October last year. Then Deontay suffered the second in a row early defeat from Fury. Before that, the fighters met in December 2018 and could not determine the winner. As you know, the WBC world heavyweight champion, Briton Tyson Fury, after defeating his compatriot Dylan White, said that he intends to end his career. Mauricio Suleiman, president of the World Boxing Council, explained how long Tyson has the right to hold the title, and how everything will develop in the division. "We have a year. Only after that we have the right to hold another mandatory title defense. Now we will wait for Fury's decision. At this time, perhaps, we will hold a series of fights, a boxing tournament before the final elimination. But now we have no choice but to wait for Fury's decision," Suleiman said. Recall that Tyson Fury and Dillian White had a fight on April 23 at Wembley Stadium in London, United Kingdom. The champion knocked out his opponent in the sixth round. Former world heavyweight champion Bermane Stiverne is confident that Anthony Joshua will not be able to defeat the current WBC title holder Tyson Fury if they meet in the ring. "I think they should fight. It would have been a good fight, of course, he would have sold out. It would be the biggest fight since the Tyson-Holyfield fight. I don't believe Joshua would have taken over. Right now, only Fury can beat Fury. Fury is so good because of his personality, his faith. I think he is the way he is, in and out of the ring. I have a lot of friends in the heavyweight division, and the person you see in front of the camera or in the ring is different from the one you see in the gym or at home. I think Fury is the same everywhere. He doesn't put on a TV show, it's his daily life," Stiverne said. The WBC world heavyweight champion, Briton Tyson Fury, posted a short video on one of the social networks with an appeal to the fans, on which he promised that news about his career would appear soon, so he advised to follow the updates carefully. "Hi guys, this is the Gypsy King. I will soon have absolutely fantastic, amazing and amazing news. So stay tuned," Fury said. Recall that Tyson had his last fight on April 23 at Wembley Stadium in London, Great Britain, against his compatriot Dillian White, whom he knocked out in the sixth round. After the fight, Tyson announced that he intended to end his career. |
