British heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, has hinted at a potential fight in Australia, as he explores various sporting venues during his visit to the country. The undefeated boxer, who currently holds a record of 33 wins from 34 fights with one draw, is in Australia to support his friend, former WBO heavyweight champion, Joseph Parker in his fight against Faiga Opelu. Fury revealed that he is “100 percent serious” about finding a fight venue in Australia and will be traveling around the country to find suitable locations.
Fury is yet to have a confirmed fight, with his last match being in December, where he successfully defended his World Boxing Council title against rival Derek Chisora. Despite talks with Oleksandr Usyk, who currently holds the WBA, IBF, and WBO titles, negotiations have still not been finalized. However, Fury remains positive, stating that he is looking forward to fighting in some significant matches “this year and next year”.
The undisputed fight against Oleksandr Usyk remains a possibility. Talks have been ongoing for over a year, and while the negotiations have not been finalized, Fury has not ruled out battling other boxers like China’s Zhang Zhilei or Joe Joyce from the UK if Usyk fails to materialize.
Zhang created an upset in April, stopping Joyce in the sixth round in London, taking his WBO interim title and positioning him to battle Usyk. Joyce has asserted his rematch clause, and Fury is eyeing a potential fight against the winner of the rematch. He said, “Joe Joyce has activated his rematch clause, so them two will now have a rematch, and maybe the winner will get a chance to fight me later on”.
In conclusion, Fury’s possible fight in Australia promises to be a significant event that boxing enthusiasts worldwide will be anticipating. With his years of experience and unrelenting spirit, Fury’s fight against any opponent is guaranteed to be action-packed and exciting.
