When is Tyson Fury's next fight? Latest news and updates

The world demands an undisputed showdown between Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, but talks broke down earlier this year, leading to Fury opting for a bout against former UFC star Francis Ngannou, much to the chagrin of fans across the globe.

However, while Fury triumphed on the night in Saudi Arabia, the bout was not without controversy as Ngannou put on a more-than-valiant display, including a knockdown against Fury, to take the encounter the full 12 rounds.

Nobody, Fury included, could have foreseen such a tight night's work, throwing the resurrection of the Fury-Usyk fight into further shadows, while hopes of an all-Brit mega fight, Fury versus Anthony Joshua, at the peak of their powers, appear to have faded.

RadioTimes.com brings you the latest news on who Tyson Fury could fight next.

When is Tyson Fury's next fight?

Tyson Fury's next fight is expected to be against Oleksandr Usyk.

The pair are expected to face off on the evening of Saturday 23rd December 2023.

However, the date of the showdown has been called into question following that tougher-than-expected bout against Ngannou.

Why did Tyson Fury not fight Oleksandr Usyk?

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.

A blockbuster fight was agreed between the pair but talks broke down and the bout was cancelled in March 2023.

Of course, both sides have attempted to save face in the fallout, and Usyk's promoter Alexander Krassyuk claimed: "I 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 £1 million to the people of Ukraine immediately after the fight.

"Tyson seemed to only hear the first part of this message and didn’t 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.”

Fury, in typical style, fought back on social media, saying: "You tried all week to get out of it, begging for a rematch. You got your rematch and didn't even want to fight at that. You little 14-stone coward. Your full team know it as well.

"Keep running. Fight [Daniel] Dubois at the Copperbox. Always know that you, and everyone else like you, could never tangle with The Gypsy King."
