Tyson Fury must triumph in his December rematch with Oleksandr Usyk to remain in contention for a future bout against the winner of the Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois fight, according to Fury’s manager, Spencer Brown. The Joshua vs. Dubois IBF heavyweight title match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Box Office on September 21.
Fury’s Presence at Joshua vs. Dubois Fight
Former two-time world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is expected to attend the Joshua vs. Dubois fight. After losing his WBC title to Usyk in a unification match in May, Fury will get another chance in their rematch in December. Usyk had to vacate his IBF championship for this rematch, promoting Dubois, an IBF interim titlist, to full champion status. Dubois will now face Joshua at Wembley Stadium.
Support for Dubois
Despite his long-standing rivalry with Joshua, Fury might support Dubois in the upcoming fight. Spencer Brown told Sky Sports, “Tyson is a good friend of Daniel Dubois and shares the same promotional company. He likely wants to see a good fight, and he’ll probably back Dubois.”
Potential All-British Clash
The winner of the Joshua vs. Dubois fight could set up an exciting all-British clash with Fury. However, Fury’s immediate focus remains on his rematch with Usyk. “We need to get this one out of the way first,” Brown emphasized. “There’s no collision course with Joshua if Fury doesn’t win the next fight. Beating Usyk is crucial.”
Optimism for Rematch
Brown is optimistic about Fury’s chances in the rematch. “There will be changes, not in management or his team, but in training. The previous fight was close and could have gone either way. Some say Usyk was three rounds ahead, but it’s all subjective. Boxing is loved for this reason.”
Looking Ahead
“Tyson Fury will return stronger. He’ll be more focused, and we’ll see a new, improved version of him. At his age, significant improvements might be limited, but the margin was very small in the last fight. Let’s support our British guy. I’m confident he will win, and then we can discuss the next stage.”
The outcome of the December rematch with Usyk will determine Fury’s path forward. Success in this fight is crucial for maintaining his chances to challenge the winner of the Joshua vs. Dubois bout. The boxing world eagerly awaits these high-stakes matchups.
