Tyson Fury’s manager, Spencer Brown, has confirmed that Fury’s upcoming rematch with WBA/WBC/WBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk on December 21st will not be for the undisputed championship. Brown mentioned that Fury’s top priority is to avenge his previous loss against Usyk in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
This recent update contradicts Fury’s earlier statements indicating his desire to win the undisputed championship in the Usyk rematch. It appears that Fury is now more focused on securing a hefty financial reward before considering retirement from boxing.
Though Fury may not be aiming for the belts, winning the rematch with Usyk remains crucial to keep the potential for a future lucrative matchup against Anthony Joshua alive. Evidently, Fury places more importance on financial gains than adding more titles to his collection.
Fans have expressed disappointment upon learning that the Fury-Joshua fight is driven largely by financial incentives rather than a genuine competition for titles. Nonetheless, the Fury-Joshua clash is still slated to happen in 2025 regardless of the outcomes of their upcoming bouts.
Ultimately, Fury’s primary focus appears to be on securing a significant payday rather than pursuing additional championship belts in the realm of boxing.
