As the crowd roared and the sweat flew in the ring, Fury sat ringside, watching the chaos unfold. He couldn't help but be impressed by Joshua's ferocious victory over Ngannou, but he also knew that their highly anticipated match-up was still on hold for the foreseeable future.
Joshua's performance was nothing short of breathtaking, as he delivered a series of explosive shots that left Ngannou on the mat, struggling to get back on his feet. Even Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, declared him the best heavyweight in the world in the immediate aftermath of the fight.
However, Fury was quick to remind everyone that he was still the undisputed champion, with his upcoming match against Usyk on May 18th. All the belts would be on the line, making it a historic showdown that had the entire boxing world buzzing.
Despite Joshua being promised a shot at the winner, Fury made it clear that there were still some hurdles to overcome, such as the contracted rematch with Usyk. While he admitted that Joshua's knockout was impressive, Fury believed that he and Usyk were still the top two contenders for the undisputed championship.
Fury also mentioned the promises made by Turki Alalshikh, the Saudi adviser who was responsible for bringing big names like Joshua and Ngannou to the region. But Fury warned that there was still a long way to go before any talk of a showdown between the two champions could become a reality.
As the discussion turned to the details of the fight, Fury was asked about the start time, the prize money, and why the match was taking place on a Friday. He also took the opportunity to promote other trending stories in the world of boxing, such as Joshua's incredible knockout victory and the upcoming undisputed championship fight.
Despite the excitement surrounding a potential fight between Fury and Joshua, Fury made it clear that he had other priorities at the moment, namely his upcoming match against Usyk and the contracted rematch in October. But if both fighters were still available after that, Fury was more than willing to make the fight happen. The ball was in Joshua's court.
