Tyson Fury says he will announce his next opponent next week – but it won’t be Usyk

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury says he will announce his next opponent next week – but confirmed it will not be Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury, 34, said he was retiring from boxing after beating Dillian Whyte in April.

Ukrainian Usyk retained the WBO, IBF and WBA (Super) titles with victory over Anthony Joshua last month.

Both have spoken of fighting each other in 2023 but Fury says he will be fighting someone else soon.

“All of a sudden Oleksandr Usyk has stated he does not want to fight any more – he wants to fight next year not this year,” the undefeated Briton said.
