Fury recently offered his fellow Briton the chance to challenge him for the WBC title before the end of the year.
Wilder, 36, returns for the first time since his back-to-back knockout defeats to Tyson Fury when he faces former sparring partner Helenius on October 15. ‘The Bronze Bomber’ considered hanging up his gloves after losing twice to Fury, but announced his return by insisting the heavyweight division needs an American champion to thrive again.
A bank holiday has been declared today for Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, with Fury one of the more high profile figures to pay his respects at Buckingham Palace last week. The Queen passed away at the age of 96 at Balmoral Castle earlier this month, ending the longest reign of any monarch in British history.
So says Deontay Wilder’s trainer, Malik Scott, who believes Anthony Joshua can take down the “arrogant” Gypsy King.
On Tuesday, Joshua’s management confirmed they will accept Fury’s 60/40 purse split offer to set up a clash with the Gypsy King for the WBC world heavyweight title on December 3. The bout will be contested at the Principality Stadium in Wales.
Fury, the WBC champion, made the offer to his British rival last week, saying he would accept a 60-40 purse split in order to seal the contest.
Elizabeth served as the Queen of England from June 2, 1953 to September 8, 2022, the longest reign as monarch in the country’s history.
Hearn said the fight could take place at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales on December 17, 2022.
The highly-anticipated fight between the two could now be in doubt after the Gypsy King stated that he is not happy with Joshua’s response to the fight negotiations.
Fury claimed he was retiring after beating Dillian Whyte in April but appears set to perform the latest of several U-turns over his future in boxing.
Fury, who suggested he was retiring from boxing after beating Dillian Whyte in April, is now searching for a high-profile opponent after rival champion Oleksandr Usyk said he does not intend to fight again until 2023.
Usyk retained his WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and IBO belts after winning his rematch with Anthony Joshua on Saturday.
The only belt missing from Usyk’s collection is Fury’s WBC strap, which he has retained despite insisting he is retired
Joshua is set to rematch Ukranian Oleksandr Usyk in Jeddah Saudi Arabia, less than a year after suffering a lopsided unanimous decision defeat to the former cruiserweight in September.
The 34-year-old revealed he would step back into the ring and had publicly revealed he was keen to face Chisora.
The Gypsy King – who retained his WBC heavyweight title with a brutal knockout of Dillian Whyte in April – won the ESPY for Best Boxer of 2021 at the sports network’s annual ceremony in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
The undefeated world champion announced his decision in the wake of his victory against Dillian Whyte at Wembley, declaring that he would be hanging up his gloves. However, he has since reneged on this statement, declaring that he would be willing to re-enter the ring if he could seal a £500 million deal for his next fight.
The 33-year-old beat Dillian Whyte at England’s national stadium in April, and has since insisted that he is now retired from the sport.
Fury also said that anything could happen in the fight, saying that Usyk was given a tough fight by Joshua in the original fight at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in September 2021. Usyk took Joshua’s WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles while also maintaining his unbeaten record, inflicting only the second defeat of the Brit’s career.
