Who Will Usyk Fight Next?
Fury and Usyk are set to take to the ring for a rematch as Fury announced after the fight that he would be activating the clause that both fighters had in their contract.
However, this fight would likely not be for the undisputed title as the IBF title will be taken off Usyk due to mandatory challengers who won't be forced to wait.
Filip Grgovic and Daniel Dubois will most likely fight for this title in June.
There were suggestions that Anthony Joshua will fight the winner of the Fury vs Usyk rematch in early 2025, however, the Brit is set to fight at Wembley in September, likely against the winner of Hrgovic vs Dubois.
Which means if Hrgovic or Dubois can beat Joshua, it is possible one of those two could fight the winner of Usyk vs Fury 2.
