Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua had a heated back-and-forth before their rumored fight in December last year. In an unexpected turn of events, 'The Gypsy King' dropped out of the fight in favor of a trilogy showdown with Derek Chisora, which he won via a 10th-round KO.
Tyson Fury then found himself in discussions with Oleksandr Usyk, as they explored the possibility of an undisputed heavyweight championship fight scheduled for April 29 at Wembley Stadium. However, the negotiations, which gained significant media attention, ultimately fell through in March, causing Fury to shift his focus towards a planned comeback in the UK on July 15.
Meanwhile, Anthony Joshua secured victory over Jermaine Franklin by earning a unanimous decision in a 12-round bout. The judges' scores of 118-111 and 117-111 (twice) reflected 'AJ's' dominance throughout the match.
