WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman expressed openness to Anthony Joshua facing the winner of Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk’s upcoming clash for the undisputed heavyweight championship. The WBC has accepted the request for the Fury-Usyk rematch and would support Joshua’s shot at the winner provided there are no contractual or promotional barriers.
Joshua’s recent second rounds knockout victory over Francis Ngannou further solidified his position in the heavyweight division prompting discussions about potential future matchups. Despite Joshua’s resurgence and Fury’s underwhelming performance against Ngannou, Sulaiman emphasized the unpredictable nature of boxing and the importance of styles in matchups.
The focus remains on Fury and Usyk’s upcoming bout with Joshua possibly eyeing a title opportunity against Filip Hrgovic if the IBF belt becomes vacant. Sulaiman emphasized the complexity of boxing and the need to consider various factors when speculating about future matchups.
