Fury is seen as washed by many boxing followers, and he’s anticipated to lose his rematch in opposition to Oleksandr Usyk on December twenty first.
Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) will resolve within the subsequent two weeks whether or not to battle Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs) once more or another person. Hearn says it’ll be a choice that he, the staff, and Joshua will collectively make.
