Afterwards, Tyson Fury took to Twitter and claimed that the unified champion “s*** himself” when questioned about the Fury fight at the post-fight conference.

Oleksandr Usyk is now AJ’s mandatory challenger for the WBO title and could prove to be a huge hurdle for the possible Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua bout. If the Ukrainian wants, he could challenge the champion for a title bout prior to the Fury fight. If this happens, Anthony Joshua could either defend his WBO title against Usyk or vacate it to fight Tyson Fury.

I’m willing, I hope he’s willing and let’s give the fans the fight they really want to see,” he added. Eddie Hearn also agrees with Fury’s comments, who had also confirmed earlier that AJ would choose the Fury fight over Oleksandr Usyk.
