Tyson Fury<\/a> is officially back boxing after a successful comeback against Arslanbek Makhmudov.<\/p>\n

37-year-old Fury is desperate for activity, however, there are two potential opponents that \u2018The Gypsy King\u2019 has ruled out of contention.<\/p>\n

Fury outclassed Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium<\/a> last weekend, cruising to a comfortable decision victory to tee up possible showdowns with Anthony Joshua<\/a> and Oleksandr Usyk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although, when called out by Fury during the aftermath, Joshua appeared reluctant to talk the fight up<\/a>, refusing to agree to face his perennial rival next and insinuating that he first wants a warm-up fight against an alternate opponent.<\/p>\n

Eddie Hearn has since unveiled plans for Joshua to make his ring return in July<\/a>, before the long-awaited scrap with Fury in November, but with Fury also seeking two further outings this year, there is every chance that he too could appear in the summer.<\/p>\n

Yet, in the post-fight press conference, Fury admitted that fights against fellow Brits, Daniel Dubois<\/a> and Moses Itauma<\/a>, are of no interest to him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not interested in Daniel Dubois, I\u2019m not interested in Moses [Itauma].<\/p>\n

They are all great fighters and I wish them all the best of luck in the world but I want to fight Anthony Joshua, that is it. Or, if AJ don\u2019t want it, then let\u2019s get Usyk in the trilogy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Presuming both are victorious in their respective preparation fights, Joshua and Fury are expected to collide at Wembley Stadium, despite the mooted November fight date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyson Fury is officially back boxing after a successful comeback against Arslanbek Makhmudov. 37-year-old Fury is desperate for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":535884,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-535883","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=535883"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535883\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/535884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=535883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=535883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=535883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
