Tyson Fury is fully focused on his upcoming match against former UFC champion Francis Ngannou, scheduled for October in Riyadh.<\/p>\n
However, that may as well get disrupted as the Brit might be forced to defend his WBC title belt, following the Anthony Joshua-Deontay Wilder clash, which is eligible to determine a challenger.<\/p>\n
Fury claimed the title from Wilder back in 2020 and has defended it successfully on three separate occasions. And the 35-year-old might be up for another challenge very soon.<\/p>\n
Wilder has lost to Fury in their last two meeting with one draw from 2018.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, a potential all-British fight between Fury and Joshua has long been talked about and it is something that will certainly keep the fans on their feet.<\/p>\n
It remains to be seen how do the matches get scheduled and what the terms will be.<\/p>\n
“For us, we’ve agreed to terms for Joshua and Wilder, but until we receive a contract, the fight’s not happening.” promoter Eddie Hearn said.<\/p>\n
“Everybody has agreed to terms, but until the money is put in place, the fight’s not happening.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
