WBC world heavyweight titleholder Tyson Fury has said 2023 will be the biggest year of his career as he seeks to become undisputed world champion.
At ringside was Oleksandr Usyk, who holds the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO belts.
“I’m ready and willing to face Usyk whether it’s in Saudi Arabia or here in the UK,” Fury said.
“Let’s give the fans a champion, a name, a face. He’s not an easy boxer to figure out, he’s skilled, a southpaw, he moves well, he’s in good shape and I can’t wait for the challenge.
“But for whatever reason, if we’re not able to do that, then we’ll have Joe Joyce at Wembley.
“I’ll do Usyk and then Joyce at Wembley as well. People ask me who the tougher fighter is and I think Joyce gives me a tougher fight.”
In chaotic scenes after the Chisora fight, Fury, Usyk and Joyce all yelled at each other in the ring.
All three men are unbeaten, while 35-year-old Ukrainian Usyk has twice beaten fellow Briton Anthony Joshua, first at Tottenham and then in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Fury had wanted two-time champion Joshua to fight him on Saturday, but after that fell through, Chisora stepped in and Fury doesn’t expect a fight with Joshua to happen.
“I want to fight real men, real challenges,” Fury added. “Usyk came here and put me in the face. We [Fury and Joshua] live in the same country but have you ever seen AJ do this after a fight?
“In the heavyweight rankings you have number one, me, then the next three – Usyk, Joyce and Deontay Wilder – you can put a hat on and pick them.
“If I fight Usyk, maybe Joyce could fight Wilder – that would be fantastic.”
Promoter Frank Warren hopes Usyk would be next for Fury and added: “Usyk and Joyce are huge fights but the one I want to see for my satisfaction is Usyk.
“I want Tyson to get what he should be – recognized as the best heavyweight in the world.”
