While the two sides have reportedly been engaged in talks for weeks, some were wondering if Fury was ever truly serious about a fight against Joshua . Joshua is coming off consecutive losses to Oleksandr Usyk, most recently losing last month.Coppinger noted that many expected Fury to fight Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight championship after ending his short-lived retirement.
However, Fury has expressed a desire to fight before the end of the year, while Usyk said he won’t be ready to return to the ring until the spring. Fury, who still holds the WBC heavyweight title, said on Instagram that he would fight against Manuel Charr if the fight against Joshua didn’t materialize. Charr wouldn’t present nearly the challenge Joshua would, so Hearn believes that was the fight Fury was chasing all along.
A fight against Charr would likely be a confidence-building win for Fury as he waits for Usyk to be ready. Joshua could look for a similar matchup to bounce back from his latest setbacks before turning his attention to a bigger fight.
