Via William Lloyd: Top Ratings President Todd DuBoef says he wants to give fans the fights they want as Tyson Fury faces Anthony Joshua, Oleksandr Usyk and Dillian Whyte.
DuBoef doesn’t care what order the fights happen, as long as undefeated WBC heavyweight champion Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs) has a chance to fight all three.
Fury, 33, is currently in talks with interim WBC champion Whyte (28-0, 19 KOs) for a possible bout in March. That’s when ‘Gypsy King’ Fury wanted to return to the ring.
DuBoef wants to give fans what they want
“I would love to watch Fury fight Joshua, Usyk and Whyte,” Todd DuBoef of Top Rank told Sports sky. “It’s about what people want to see. Regardless of the order – Fury vs. Joshua is what people want to see.
Fury is about to have an intense three-part fight with former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder on October 9 and needs plenty of rest before returning to fight whoever his supporters want him to fight.
There’s still a good chance if Fury takes on Whyte, 34, next as he is refereeing with the World Boxing Council and he wants a substantial 55/45 split, which is not something The highest rating feels fair. They want an 80/20 ratio.
Fans want to see Fury fight Joshua and Usyk, but he’ll have to wait until those two meet in a rematch in April. That’s when their second fight is expected to take place. .
Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) lost the IBF, WBA & WBO heavyweight titles to Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) last September by a unanimous decision in the 12th half at Tottenham Stadium Hotspurs in London, England.
Since that bout, there have been numerous boxing and boxer fans and their promoters who have questioned whether Joshua was wise to hit a rematch with Usyk because he had been injured. How to coordinate in that match.
Even if Joshua loses to Usyk again, Fury supporters in the Top Rated will still be interested in hosting a Joshua-Fury fight. It’s just that it may not be of as much interest to fans as it used to be.
Joshua and Fury will fight at least once
“I think Fury and Joshua will fight at least once because people want it. Maybe the public will say, “We want Fury versus Usyk.” “DuBoef said.
It would be great if Fury and Joshua could fight early regardless of the outcome of their next fight. There’s just too much fan interest in the Joshua vs Fury fight that the fight doesn’t happen due to one or both losing.
“Joshua said he had a good night off,” continue DuBeof. “He has to establish his dominance as he did with Andy Ruiz Jr. Joshua must take his career to the top again by erasing his night. That’s the important thing.
