Eddie Hearn outlines why a trilogy Fury-Usyk battle is unlikely.

Anthony Joshua is set to face the winner of Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight belt.

Usyk defeated Fury in 12 spectacular rounds on May 18 in Saudi Arabia, capturing the four WBC, WBA, IBF, and WBO championships.

Anthony Joshua is in line to fight the winner between Tyson Fury or Oleksandr Usyk.

Usyk and Fury are set to rematch in December.

And they are preparing for a rematch on December 21 in Riyadh, which Saudi boxing kingmaker Turki Alalshikh hopes will be for all of the belts again.

So AJ will instead return in September at Wembley Stadium, with Daniel Dubois, fresh off a massive win over Filip Hrgovic, as the leader for the stadium match.

Dubois, 26, is set to defend his IBF ‘interim’ belt and required status for the full title now held by Usyk, 37.

So the winner of Dubois vs. Joshua, 34, will be next in line for the belts, with the WBC, WBA, and WBO following behind.

And promoter Eddie Hearn told SunSport that a trilogy battle between Fury and Usyk, even if the score is even, is doubtful.

If Joshua defeats whoever welcomes him back to Britain later this year, he will be in position to confront the victor for the belts.

He stated, “I expect the winner of the December fight to face Anthony Joshua if he wins in September.”

“No decision has been made on the opponent; there are three or four in the mix. But, yes, it is the absolute plan.

“The first priority is to regain the world heavyweight title and obviously undisputed’s always been the dream.

“So I think we’re two fights away from becoming undisputed. But, we’ve got to win them.”

Standing in Joshua’s way first will be Dubois, who has vowed to “demolish” his fellow Brit.

‘I’ll demolish Joshua’

He said: “That’s what I’ve been hearing [that Joshua could be next], so let’s see.

“[Being world champion] is a dream.

“From challenging for the world title to getting the chance to win the damn thing outright, that’s what I want.

“I’ll demolish Joshua. I’ll get even better from here.”

AJ will not take his compatriot likely, and has said: “I’ve got to pick them off one by one. It’s not going to be easy, but that’s my mentality. So come one, come all…

“He [Dubois] has been in tougher fights, so he becomes hardened. He has worked his way up the ladder, we’ll see what happens in the near future.

“Wembley, O2, York Hall – wherever they put me, I’m happy to fight. Any venue, I’ll turn up and do my job.”

Inside the Gypsy King’s royal court

TYSON FURY is one of the biggest characters in sport.

The two-time heavyweight champion is not known for pulling his punches and lets both his fists and mouth do the talking.

Fury has seven children with wife Paris and recently hinted another is on the way.

Their family life is set to hit the screen again with season two of At Home With The Furys being filmed for Netflix.

The Gypsy King is Love Island star Tommy’s older brother.

He is on course to become the first billionaire in boxing with a £200 million fight against arch rival Anthony Joshua.

However, daughter Venezuela has mocked her father’s tendency to look for deals.

Despite his impressive car collection, he may often be seen driving around town in a more modest vehicle.

Fury has spoken up about his mental health difficulties and revealed the diet that led to his miraculous bodily transformation.

The Morecambe mauler is noted not only for his fighting s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s, but also for his ability to entertain fans and his unique fight-week attire.
