Tyson Fury Seeks New Opponent Amid Joshua Fight Uncertainty

Tyson Fury has indicated he is searching for a new opponent for November, calling out Oleksandr Usyk, despite being under contract to fight Anthony Joshua. Both fighters have signed contracts with Saudi Arabian promoter Sela for an all-British heavyweight match, which is targeted for November.

The announcement of the fight has been delayed due to disagreements over the venue, with organizers favoring a location in the US, while Joshua prefers Wembley Stadium. Fury has suggested that Joshua may be backing out of the fight, leading him to consider Usyk as an alternative.

Joshua's contract requires the fight to occur in the UK, prompting his promoter, Eddie Hearn, to renegotiate terms. London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan has publicly supported hosting the fight at Wembley, but discussions have stalled. Hearn previously expressed hope for an announcement soon, although recent developments have made this uncertain.
