Tyson Fury WILL FACE Alexander Usyk IN THE NEXT FIGHT IF cruz azul HE DEFEATS Dillian Whyte Anthony Joshua
Tyson Fury has claimed he is trying to arrange a fight for his 57-year-old father John as he prepares to face Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium.
Undefeated heavyweight Tyson will finally face British rival Whyte on April 23 for the WBC title, but there could now be another Fury on the undercard of that bout.
The 'Gypsy King' also al nassar said back in February he was trying to get his dad back in the ring, but has now reiterated to the Unibet Lowdown that a potential fight for John could be coming soon.
(Promoter) Frank (Warren) is working very hard behind the scenes, it's not been announced but I'm just going to give you a little sneaky preview.
'Big John, trying to get him on the undercard. So yeah, don't be surprised.'
When asked if Fury Sr could fight promoter Eddie Hearn, Fury added: 'No. My dad would chin Eddie Hearn in one round, within 30 seconds.'
No fights on the undercard have been announced as yet, though American prospect Jared Anderson, 22, is reportedly flying to the UK to spar with Fury so could be involved.
John, once a boxer himself, called out legendary former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson when 'Iron Mike' returned to the ring for an exhibition bout in 2020.
He said: 'I'll fight Mike Tyson, he's making a comeback. I know he mentions my boy's name every five minutes, but here I am, John Fury is hiding from no man, not even the king of the old men Mike Tyson.
'I will fight Mike Tyson; I will not be denied, I will die in a fight.'
OTTO WALLIN EAGER TO FACE ANTHONY JOSHUA NEXT: 'I STRONGLY BELIEVE I WOULD BE THE BEST OPTION'
The Swedish heavyweight went 12 rounds with WBC champion Tyson Fury in 2019.
Swedish heavyweight Otto Wallin has put himself forward to face Anthony Joshua whose next fight date is unkown.
"I strongly believe I would be the best option, simply because I think that Joshua would want an opponent to help him prepare for Usyk," Wallin told Vegas Insider.
"I’m a southpaw and I fight somewhat similar to Usyk. That’s handels not easy to come by.
"If I was Joshua I would look at who’s similar to Usyk. I would say Parker is more like Usyk than Joyce but he’s not a southpaw and Joshua already beat him. Luis Ortiz doesn’t fight like Usyk, he’s been knocked out twice by Wilder and he was dropped by Charles Martin.
