Tyson Fury surprised boxing fans around the world when he announced his retirement in early January. The unexpected move followed his recent performance in December, when he was defeated by Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch of their fight in May. Usyk then triumphed by a split decision to become the undisputed heavyweight champion.
Although both fighters – Fury and Usyk – suffered defeats, many fans and experts believed that the situation could open the door for a long-awaited fight between Fury and Anthony Joshua. Without major obstacles previously standing in the way, many wondered if they would finally meet in the ring.
Joshua, a former world champion, lost his last chance in September last year, when Daniel Dubois knocked him out in the fifth round at the legendary Wembley Stadium, thus missing out on a chance to return to the world throne.
