I want to fight Fury – Usyk said after defeating Joshua

After beating Anthony Joshua, Oleksandr Usyk expressed confidence that he would defeat heavyweight boxing champion, Tyson Fury, if the two meet in a fight.

Usyk defeated Joshua on Saturday to seal a split decision win in their rematch in Saudi Arabia.

Usyk has, therefore, 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.

But looking at the World Heavyweight title currently with Fury, he said: “I am sure that Tyson Fury is not retired yet. I am convinced that he wants to fight me,” Usyk said.

“I want to fight him and if I’m not fighting Tyson Fury, I am not fighting at all.”
