Gypsy King and Usyk have a two-fight contract, but there may be a way to break it.

By dominating Oleksandr Usyk, TYSON FURY could increase his prospects of facing Anthony Joshua.

On May 18, in Saudi Arabia, Fury will take on Usyk in the first four-belt unification fight in the heavyweight category.

Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are still associated.

Additionally, AJ will have to wait to fight because the two are signed to a straight-forward rematch immediately following.

However, Fury’s Hall of Fame US promoter Bob Arum thinks the rematch might be canceled if the Gypsy King defeats Usyk sufficiently.

Furthermore, it would let Joshua, 34, to step in and start a Battle of Britain match earlier than anticipated.

“I think the knock on Joshua has been that he’d lost his confidence,” Arum stated to the Daily Mail. A warrior is greatly lessened if he lacks confidence.

“Now Joshua seems to be regaining his confidence, and if that continues Joshua will be a very dangerous fighter that could compete with anybody.

“What happens if Fury-Usyk turns out to be a classic? A fight that is so exciting and so thrilling that the public wants to see it again.

“Then that would certainly trump a Joshua fight, and contractually, it’s a fight that has to happen.

“Now, what happens if it’s a one-sided fight and Fury wins the fight?

“Then maybe everybody can sit down with His Excellency Turki Alalshikh and work out some arrangement to go right to Fury-Joshua.

“If Usyk wins the fight, I don’t think there would be that much demand for an Usyk-Joshua fight because after all they fought twice and Usyk beat him twice.

“So, one fight at a time, that’s my motto.”
