The Tyson Fury next fight could see ‘The Gypsy King’ finally face British heavyweight rival Anthony Joshua. That is unless he sticks to his retirement claims following back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk.
Tyson Fury Next Fight: ‘The Gypsy King’ Officially Retires From Boxing
Tyson Fury is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in world boxing over the past decade. The British heavyweight is a former two-time world champion, as well as being the first man to beat the fearsome American puncher Deontay Wilder.
‘The Gypsy King’ has beaten all comers in his career to date, apart from one man. Fury’s resumé is highly impressive, and consists of wins over the likes of Wilder twice, Wladimir Klitschko, Dillian Whyte, Derek Chisora three times and Francis Ngannou to name but a few.
Tyson Fury’s record is currently 34-2-1. This includes 24 wins via knockout and 10 decision victories. Not only that, but Fury has won five world title fights, losing just two of his clashes for world honours. These were of course both against Oleksandr Usyk.
Now though it seems the 36-year-old is done with boxing, having officially announced his retirement from the sport following back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk.
It remains to be seen whether Fury is true to his word and stays retired or not. We have seen ‘The Gypsy King’ retire at least three times before yet continue to come back, so a lot of boxing fans don’t actually believe he has hung up the gloves for good.
If he is serious and doesn’t fight ever again, then he has had a career to be proud of. He can forever say he was the man that dethroned Wladimir Klitschko following his decade of dominance, as well as those epic nights against Deontay Wilder, Oleksandr Usyk and many other fighters.

Time will tell if the fight happens in the summer, fingers crossed it does!
That being said, the 36-year-old also has some other options. A fight with world champion Daniel Dubois could be easily made, given that both fighters are signed to Frank Warren and Queensberry Promotions.
Time will tell how this all plays out in the next 12-18 months and what happens next for ‘The Gypsy King’.
