The boxing world is still reeling from the aftermath of Tyson Fury’s second loss to Oleksandr Usyk. Despite Fury’s protests that he won the fight, the judges’ unanimous decision has left the British boxer’s future in the sport uncertain.
At 37 years old in 2025, Fury may be nearing the end of his career, and many are wondering if he will decide to retire. After all, it’s hard to imagine him being motivated by anything less than another shot at the title. A third fight with Usyk seems unlikely, even if Fury wins a few more matches in a row.
However, fans of the „Gypsy King” can breathe a sigh of relief. According to The Sun, Fury has reassured his closest circle that he’s not done yet. „This isn’t the end,” he said, hinting at a potential comeback.
In fact, Fury already has his sights set on a new opponent: Anthony Joshua. The two British boxers have been touted for a massive showdown for years, even when they both held championship belts (before Usyk defeated them twice). Eddie Hearn, Joshua’s promoter, has been pushing for the fight, calling it the „biggest bout in British boxing history.”
The match could take place in 2025, with Wembley Stadium reportedly being considered as the ideal venue. Joshua, who recently lost to Daniel Dubois in September, will also be looking to bounce back from his defeat.
While Fury’s future is still uncertain, one thing is clear: he’s not ready to hang up his gloves just yet. With a potential Joshua fight on the horizon, boxing fans can look forward to another epic battle between two of the sport’s biggest names.
