We don’t know what’s next for Fury just yet, but we do know that Usyk and Joshua will run it back. As expected, Joshua has enacted his rematch clause following his unanimous decision.
“Back in the game and looking for him to become a three-time world champion,” Hearn said last Saturday during Matchroom Boxing’s Liam Smith vs. Anthony Fowler broadcast on DAZN.
