Fury defeated Chisora, for the second time, last Saturday night at the ExCeL London to win the British, European and WBO International Heavyweight titles, whilst securing the mandatory challenger position to Wladimir Klitschko’s WBO World title.
Tyson Fury, Fury Promotions and Hennessy Sports have an exclusive promotional agreement with Queensberry Promotions and the next fight is scheduled for February in London. Following that, Klitschko is the target, and negotiations will open in March and if an agreement isn’t reached, the fight will go to purse bids and will take place within 120 days thereafter.
Joshua, seemingly a humble and level headed person, has already toned down the exaggerated comments of his promoter who stated only last month: “He destroys Tyson Fury and Dereck Chisora right now”.
It is clear that Joshua’s promoter is looking to attract attention for his next fight against Kevin Johnson who has lost four of his five last fights that includes losses to both Fury and Chisora – who the Londoner also floored.
Right now Fury is in the heavyweight hot seat and his aim is to win the world heavyweight title next year and it’s currently a race between him and WBO number one middleweight, Billy Joe Saunders, himself, the British, Commonwealth and European Champion, as to who will be the first world champion from the travelling community.
