Tyson Fury got back to winning ways this weekend and is now looking to keep active for the remainder of 2026, eyeing up a clash with Anthony Joshua.
Should that fight not happen, fans are sure to clamour for a showdown between Fury and Moses Itauma, and ‘The Gypsy King’ has shared his thoughts on that proposed scrap.
Fury comfortably outboxed Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to register a first victory since 2023, before making a beeline for perennial rival Joshua during the post-fight interview and demanding their long-awaited fight.
However, with Joshua still on the mend after his tragic car crash, the two-time world champion was reluctant to agree to a fight on the spot, seemingly unwilling to deviate from plans to first have a warm-up fight and then take face Fury.
In the press conference following his win, Fury made his intentions clear once again, admitting that he has no interest in fights with the next generation, Itauma included, and would chase a Usyk trilogy instead if the ‘AJ’ fight failed to materialise.
“I’m not interested in Daniel Dubois, I’m not interested in Moses [Itauma]. I’m not interested in all these guys.
“They are all great fighters and I wish them all the best of luck in the world but I want to fight Anthony Joshua, that is it. Or, if AJ don’t want it, then let’s get Usyk in the trilogy.”
Both Joshua and Fury are expected to fight twice during the second half of 2026, with their meeting potentially coming at the end of the year.
