Tyson Fury Reveals Agreed Plans for Heavyweight Division

The heavyweight division has been bubbling with excitement since the stacked “Day of Reckoning” card, where Anthony Joshua dominated Otto Wallin. Despite the initial postponement of Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury, that clash is now set for May 18. The heavyweight division is entering somewhat of a golden age thanks to Turki Alalshikh and the combined efforts of Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren. Fury ahead of his next fight has spoken to Sky Sports about the future of the heavyweight division and revealed a roadmap that centres around the undisputed heavyweight championship.
