A potential fight with Deontay Wilder awaits Anthony Joshua according to Turki Alalshikh.

Tyson Fury’s announcement of his retirement has shocked the boxing community.

Less than a month after losing to three-belt heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk for the second time in a row, “The Gypsy King” revealed the news on social media Monday in a mysterious video message.

This year, Anthony Joshua’s promoter hoped to get Fury in the “biggest fight in history.”

(function (v, d, o, ai) {
ai = d.createElement(‘script’);
ai.defer = true;
ai.async = true;
ai.src = v.location.protocol + o;
d.head.appendChild(ai);
})(window, document, ‘//a.vdo.ai/core/v-pulsesports-ng-v2/vdo.ai.js’);

During an IFL TV appearance, Eddie Hearn learned that Fury had quit combat sports.

He said, “I saw that coming. Yeah, I saw that coming.

“If you ever wanna come back and get the max, you’ve got to retire first, haven’t you? Someone has got to bring you out of retirement.

“If that’s the last we see of Tyson Fury, good luck to him. I doubt it, personally, but whatever he chooses to do much respect for him.

“I think he’ll wanna fight again. I think he’ll get bored. I think he’ll know that the British public wanna see the AJ fight. My personal belief is, we’ll see him in the ring again.

“If he wants to retire, there’s nothing we can do about it. If he’s up for the challenge.

“If he’s up for the biggest fight in the sport, great! But we can’t dictate what Tyson Fury does.”

Frank Warren, Tyson Fury’s promoter, was unaware that his famous client would announce his retirement.

Warren wishes the heavyweight legend the best of luck as he gets ready for life after fighting, even if Fury’s announcement of retirement took him aback.

Following Tyson Fury’s retirement, boxing’s most powerful man Turki Alalshikh announced Anthony Joshua’s next opponent.

Turki Alalshikh is eager to get a fight for Anthony Joshua, regardless of whether Tyson Fury is actually retired.

Many fight fans interpreted “The Gypsy King’s” announcement of his retirement earlier this month as a ploy to negotiate a potential bout with Anthony Joshua.

The city of Riyadh Expectations were high because season leader Turki Alalshikh included Fury-Joshua on his list of matches to watch in 2025.

Alalshikh is now keeping things going despite the “retirement” announcement by appointing another formidable opponent for “AJ.”

Speaking to TalkSport, Alalshikh revealed intentions to make Anthony Joshua vs. Deontay Wilder a reality.

Alalshikh said, “I want to see Joshua and Wilder now.

“If Tyson is not available, why not Joshua and Wilder?

One of the most significant bouts in Joshua’s heyday was Joshua vs. Wilder.

When both men were unbeaten, this matchup was marred by negotiation problems; now, both are coming off devastating knockout losses.

Even though the Wilder-Joshua and Fury-Joshua bouts are long overdue, there are several newcomers to the heavyweight category who are willing to compete.

Bakole and “AJ” faced off at the Ring Awards, and if Wilder remains idle, the bout would make sense from a matchmaking standpoint.
