Oleksandr Usyk has sent a clear message that he wants to
fight heavyweight boxing champion, Tyson Fury, next after beating Anthony
Joshua again.
The undefeated Ukrainian saw off a spirited performance from
Joshua to seal a split decision win in their rematch in Saudi Arabia on
Saturday night.
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.”
