Tyson Fury names the one heavyweight fight he “can’t wait for”

Tyson Fury still has a lot to achieve in the boxing ring.

First up is a rematch against Oleksandr Usyk in December. It will be the first time he's fought someone who has beaten him before, and getting revenge and making up for the only loss of his professional career is a top priority for “The Gypsy King.”

The first meeting between the two in May was a historic event that crowned the first undisputed heavyweight champion in nearly 25 years.

Ukrainian technician and former undisputed cruiserweight world champion Usyk emerged victorious after a close fight, largely decided by an impressive ninth round for Usyk, in which Fury was counted to 10 points after a hard hook.

He said he will be better and more focused when the two meet again.

The rematch is considered the best fight in heavyweight boxing, but Fury has admitted he can't wait to see what may be the biggest fight yet when former heavyweight legend Mike Tyson takes on Jake Paul.

The fight will be streamed live on Netflix and can be viewed as part of a regular subscription, leading many to believe it could break boxing live viewership records. It will be the first time “Iron Mike” has fought since an exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020, which came about 18 years after his last professional fight.

On his own social media, Fury shared a clip of Tyson training with the caption:

“I can’t wait to see the living legend [Mike Tyson] with boxing gloves on again.”

Tyson will be nearly 30 years older than Jake Paul when the fight takes place, and although Paul is coming off a string of first-round wins, he has never fought anyone at the former unified champion's level.
