The winner would control three of boxing’s four recognized world championships, leaving only the IBF version outside their possession. That title is expected to be filled separately after Jai Opetaia was stripped earlier this year, creating a clear route toward full divisional supremacy.

That sent Fury into retirement, but ‘The Gypsy King’ returned in April with a one-sided points win over Arslanbek Makhmudov, which was expected to then set up a long-awaited clash with Anthony Joshua later this year.
