The boxing world is abuzz with speculation about Tyson Fury's next move following his narrow defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in their historic undisputed heavyweight clash. Frank Warren, Fury's veteran promoter, has broken his silence on what comes next for "The Gypsy King."
Rematch Clause Activated
Warren confirmed that the contractual rematch clause has been officially triggered, setting the stage for another epic confrontation between Fury and Usyk. The promoter revealed that both camps are already in discussions about dates and venues for what promises to be another blockbuster event.
Timeline and Recovery
"We're looking at October," Warren stated, emphasizing the importance of giving Fury adequate recovery time after the gruelling first encounter. The promoter highlighted that the 35-year-old needs proper rest before diving back into another intense training camp.
Potential Venue Options
While Saudi Arabia remains the frontrunner to host the rematch, Warren didn't rule out other locations. Wembley Stadium, where Fury has fought before, could be a sentimental favourite for British fans hoping to see the champion fight on home soil.
Fury's Reflection and Future
Despite the defeat, Warren maintains that Fury remains one of the sport's elite heavyweights. The promoter expressed confidence in his fighter's ability to make necessary adjustments and come back stronger in the rematch.
Warren's comments suggest that regardless of the rematch outcome, Fury has no immediate plans to retire from the sport that has made him a global superstar.
