Tyson Fury has confirmed that he plans to fight three times in 2023

WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has confirmed that he plans to fight three times in 2023. First of all, the Briton is interested in a fight with the WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight title holder Oleksandr Usyk.

"Usyk is at the top of my shopping list. This is provided that I can handle Chisora ​​and Derek and I will not have a fourth fight."

"If Usyk doesn't want to smoke in February, let's have a fight with Joyce at Wembley. Joe, get your skates on, get in shape, because if a middleweight doesn't want to smoke, you're in business. I'm planning three fights next year, and you can do one of them."

“[Joyce] is, in my opinion, the second-ranked heavyweight in the world behind me. Maybe three, because I don't think anyone in the world can handle Deontay Wilder's power but me."

Promoter Frank Warren said that the Ukrainian will be Fury's next opponent after the Briton's fight with Derek Chisora, which is scheduled for December 3. This same thesis was confirmed by Tyson himself, who declared his readiness to fight with the Ukrainian after the fight with Derek. In addition, the Gypsy King announced three fights for 2023. Promoter Oleksandr Krasiuk said that the working date of the fight between Usyk and Fury is February 18.

The organization of the fight between Usyk and Fury can be hindered by the position of the IBF, which believes that the fight of the Ukrainian with mandatory contender Filip Hrhovych is a higher priority than sanctioning the unification fight between Usyk and Fury.
