Hopes of an all-Brit mega fight, Fury versus Anthony Joshua, at the peak of their powers, appear to have faded, while a cancelled undisputed bout against Oleksandr Usyk has virtually paralysed the heavyweight division.<\/p>\n
The flamboyant superstar continues to ruffle feathers via social media, stoking the flames with anyone and everyone, and has now agreed his next fight \u2013 but it hasn\u2019t gone down well with the boxing community.<\/p>\n
RadioTimes.com<\/a> brings you the latest news on who Tyson Fury could fight next.<\/p>\n Tyson Fury\u2019s next fight is against\u00a0Francis Ngannou<\/strong> on Saturday 28th October 2023<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Former UFC star Ngannou initially trained to become a professional boxer at the start of his career, but he ended up following the MMA path to become UFC Heavyweight Champion.<\/p>\n The 36-year-old left UFC in 2023 and looks set to pursue boxing in the autumn of his career.<\/p>\n Fury and Ngannou will fight in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with a mega purse up for grabs.<\/p>\n The move has frustrated heavyweight boxing fans keen to see Fury go to war with Usyk in an undisputed firecracker showdown.<\/p>\n Instead, the Gypsy King\u2019s clash against a heavyweight boxing debutant, for all his MMA heroics, feels underwhelming to many.<\/p>\n Fury is the current WBC heavyweight champion and is the only man standing in the way of WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and IBO champion Usyk becoming the undisputed heavyweight king of the world. Or vice versa.<\/p>\n A blockbuster fight was agreed between the pair but talks broke down and the bout was cancelled in March 2023.<\/p>\n Of course, both sides have attempted to save face in the fallout, and Usyk\u2019s promoter Alexander Krassyuk claimed<\/a>: \u201cI did act in the courtesy of boxing when I accepted 70\/30 [purse split] but I accepted it with a condition that Tyson had to donate \u00a31 million to the people of Ukraine immediately after the fight.<\/p>\n \u201cTyson seemed to only hear the first part of this message and didn\u2019t like, want or hear the second. There were a bunch of issues that collectively put the criticalness which finally exploded and we had to pull the plug.\u201d<\/p>\n Fury, in typical style, fought back on social media, saying<\/a>: \u201cYou tried all week to get out of it, begging for a rematch. You got your rematch and didn\u2019t even want to fight at that. You little 14-stone coward. Your full team know it as well.<\/p>\n \u201cKeep running. Fight [Daniel] Dubois at the Copperbox. Always know that you, and everyone else like you, could never tangle with The Gypsy King.\u201d<\/p> If you\u2019re looking for something else to watch, check out our TV Guide<\/a> or\u00a0Streaming Guide<\/b><\/a>, or visit our Sport<\/a> hub for all the latest news.<\/strong><\/p>\n Try Radio Times magazine today and get 10 issues for only \u00a310, PLUS a \u00a310 John Lewis and Partners voucher delivered to your home \u2013 subscribe now<\/a>. <\/b>For more from the biggest stars in TV, listen to\u00a0The Radio Times Podcast<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n We bring you all the latest news about Tyson Fury’s next fight. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":35794,"template":"","categories":[1,7,5],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2023\/08\/when-is-tyson-furys-next-fight-latest-news-and-updates-scaled.jpg",2560,1705,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2023\/08\/when-is-tyson-furys-next-fight-latest-news-and-updates-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2023\/08\/when-is-tyson-furys-next-fight-latest-news-and-updates-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2023\/08\/when-is-tyson-furys-next-fight-latest-news-and-updates-768x511.jpg",768,511,true],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2023\/08\/when-is-tyson-furys-next-fight-latest-news-and-updates-1024x682.jpg",800,533,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2023\/08\/when-is-tyson-furys-next-fight-latest-news-and-updates-1536x1023.jpg",1536,1023,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2023\/08\/when-is-tyson-furys-next-fight-latest-news-and-updates-2048x1364.jpg",2048,1364,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"We bring you all the latest news about Tyson Fury's next fight.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/35793"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35794"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}When is Tyson Fury\u2019s next fight?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
