Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte in action during the WBC World Heavyweight Title Fight between Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium on April 23, 2022
Fury said he had retired after beating Dillian Whyte at Wembley in April but still holds the WBC belt

Tyson said that he will announce his next opponent next week, but that it won't be Usyk.

Usyk defeated Anthony Joshua to retain his titles.

Both of them have said that they will be fighting each other in a few years.

The Briton said that Oleksandr Usyk wants to fight next year instead of this year.

I will make a fight announcement next week.

The news conference was held after the 'Clash at the Castle' event in Wales.

He floored Austin Theory in the ring, then closed the first UK stadium event for 30 years with a rendition of American Pie.

He said that he would be open to joining the company full-time in the future, but that he had a lot of fights to take care of.

Usyk said that the fight would not happen this year. I have old traumas which need to be treated, but I am completely healthy and don't have any injuries. It will take me up to two months to recover.
