Tyson Fury challenges Oleksandr Usyk after Anthony Joshua claim

Tyson Fury has challenged Oleksandr Usyk in a social media video after claiming Anthony Joshua will never fight him.

Sky Sports reported Fury’s comments on Monday, but no details of a proposed bout between Fury and Usyk were provided. There is no confirmation of negotiations, timing, location or terms.

Fury previously fought Usyk and lost, according to the supplied background. He retired in December 2024 before announcing his return to boxing in January 2026.

The latest comments also revive the unresolved prospect of a Fury-Joshua fight. Previous plans for that bout fell apart in 2021 after a US judge ordered Fury to face Deontay Wilder.

Joshua was scheduled to face Kristian Prenga in Jeddah on 25 July 2026. Fury’s claim that Joshua will never fight him remains an assertion by the former champion and has not been independently substantiated in the supplied material.
