Who is Tyson Fury fighting next?

Tyson Fury put a stamp on the Deontay Wilder rivalry, but who’s next?
Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder went toe-to-toe in Las Vegas, NV on Saturday night in what turned out to be an epic heavyweight championship fight. The only difference, though, was that the trilogy ended up being the most competitive fight of the bunch.
Numerous knockdowns from both men swayed the fight in both directions, but as the fight went on, Fury found his rhythm. Then, round 11 happened.
Wilder did everything possible to remain in the fight, but his gas tank and chin made it nearly improbable for him to have a shot at pulling off a comeback. Eventually, Fury would knock out the Alabama native, likely ending the rivalry once and for all. Despite this, it is clear that heavyweight championship boxing is here for the long-haul, which begs the question, who is next for Fury in his upcoming title defense?
Is Tyson Fury fighting Anthony Joshua next?
At the moment, a potential super fight between Fury and British heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua, is a possibility. However, Joshua will have to face Alexander Usyk due to a rematch clause in the contract. The outcome of the second fight will likely determine the future of the division.
But for now, though, only time will tell.
