By Tyson Fury must win his December rematch against Oleksandr Usyk to stay on track for a potential fight with the winner of the Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois bout, according to his manager Spencer Brown. Fury, the former two-time world heavyweight champion, is expected to attend the Joshua vs. Dubois fight on September 21 at Wembley Stadium, which will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Box Office.
Fury lost his WBC title to Usyk in a four-belt undisputed unification match in May. As a result, Usyk had to vacate his IBF championship, elevating Dubois, previously an IBF interim titlist, to full champion status. This sets the stage for Dubois to face Joshua in a highly anticipated match.
Despite his rivalry with Joshua, Fury might be supporting Dubois in the upcoming fight. Brown mentioned that Fury is a good friend of Dubois and is part of the same promotional company. However, Fury’s primary focus remains on his rematch with Usyk.
Fury’s manager emphasized the importance of winning the rematch against Usyk, stating that there would be no future plans for a fight with the Joshua-Dubois victor if Fury does not win. Brown is confident that Fury can make the necessary adjustments to defeat Usyk in their second encounter. He noted that the previous fight was very close and could have gone either way, highlighting the subjective nature of boxing opinions.
Fury has resumed training and is determined to reclaim his title. Brown mentioned that there would be changes in Fury’s training approach, although not in his management or team. He believes that Fury will come back stronger and better prepared for the rematch.
The winner of the Joshua vs. Dubois fight would set up a highly appealing all-British clash with Fury, provided he wins his rematch against Usyk. Fury’s journey to redemption and his potential future fights depend heavily on the outcome of his December rematch.
