A Direct Challenge to Oleksandr Usyk

Tyson Fury claims he is seeking a new opponent for November and has directly called out Oleksandr Usyk. The British fighter is pushing for a third bout against the Ukrainian champion, who has already defeated him twice in their previous encounters.

This move comes despite both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua having signed individual contracts to face each other. Even with signed agreements in place for a targeted November date, the all-British heavyweight clash has yet to be formally finalised.

Venue Dispute Between New York and London

The main obstacle delaying an official announcement remains the fight venue. While event organisers have pushed to stage the bout in the United States in New York, London's Wembley Stadium remains firmly back in consideration.

Following public support to bring the showdown to the British capital, promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed that talks have reopened to stage the event at Wembley Stadium. The official confirmation still hinges on a final resolution between all involved parties.
