For Fury, it is a matter of making up for lost time, following a mental health breakdown and the impact of Covid-19.
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - Tyson Fury wants to emulate Muhammad Ali by embarking on a world tour following his all-British world heavyweight title fight with Derek Chisora in London on Saturday."After I beat Chisora and after I beat Oleksandr Usyk next year, I am going to try and go on a massive campaign all over the world."
Usyk holds the IBF, WBA and WBO versions of the heavyweight title, having taken them off Joshua in September last year. Fury's only fight so far this year was a six-round stoppage of Dillian Whyte at Wembley in April, with Fury then announcing his retirement. Veteran promoter Bob Arum, now working alongside Warren, helped take Ali for world-title fights well outside of his native United States in the mid-1970s.
Fury added: "I am champion of the whole world...It would be lovely to give these fans the opportunity to see a world champion.
