According to the decision of the International Boxing Council (WBC), Tyson Fury was assigned to fight Dillian Whyte in the defense of the WBC championship title. This match is scheduled to take place in March 2022.
A lot of talk about Tyson Fury's future after the knockout victory over Wilder in October. Many people expect that heavyweight boxing village will have a unified match between Fury and Ukrainian fighter, Oleksandr Usyk – who has just acquired 4 WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO championship belts after the match against Anthony Joshua.
The President of the WBC, Mr. Mauricio Sulaiman, said:
“The WBC gives Fury a month to complete the negotiations for the heavy championship with Usyk, who just won against Joshua.
“We have received a report from the British boxing medical agency and learned why whye was injured, could not fight Otto Wallin as intended. So we will proceed with everything as before (conduct the Fury vs. Whye in the near future).”
However, there are rumors that Tyson Fury will declare early retirement. The reason is that he had listened to the advice of Puncher Ricky Hatton, so he was retired when he was at the peak. After the match against Wilder, Fury himself proved no longer interested in boxing.
