Unified heavyweight champ Oleksandr Usyk calls out Deontay Wilder for fight ‘after he gets rid of Tyson Fury’

Published on October 24, 2022 at 07:42 PM

OLEKSANDR USYK has called out Deontay Wilder but only after he “gets rid”; of Tyson Fury first.

Fury, 34, and Usyk, 35, WILL “without a doubt”; fight next year in a historic undisputed title decider.

Usyk called out Wilder but only after he ‘gets rid’ of Fury next yearThe 37-year-old returned to the ring and knocked out Robert Helenius earlier this monthBut the Ukrainian is already looking ahead, setting his sights on Wilder.

The heavyweight champ sent a message to the Brit on his 37th birthday, via an interview with ESNEWS.

He said:Â “After I get rid of Tyson Fury, then we’re gonna talk to Deontay Wilder. I will train hard.”;Â

Never in the heavyweight division have all four world titles been contested for.

But that is set to change in the early part of 2023 as the pair set up for a huge bout.

Fury wanted to fight Usyk next after the Ukrainian beat Anthony Joshua, 32, on points for the second time.

The Englishman lost on a split decision, before going on a bizarre rant post-fight in the ring.

It left Usyk baffled – especially when AJ threw his belts out of the ring – but the heavyweight remained respectful.

The boxing hero ruled himself out of fighting Fury until next year, having returned to his war-torn home for the first time after a period training away.

So Fury made the shock decision to call out AJ and talks for the pair to fight in Cardiff on December 3 followed.

However, a deal could not be agreed and Derek Chisora, 38, is now the unlikely alternative to challenge for the WBC title.

That is despite twice losing to Fury in one-sided fashion, in 2011 and 2014.

Meanwhile, former WBC champ Wilder has released a music video for his debut single.
