Tyson Fury has no doubt who his next two opponents — and next three fights — will be.
Fury, speaking with English TV personality Mark Wright via Instagram Live on Thursday, said he would honor the rematch clause he has with Deontay Wilder before moving on to Anthony Joshua.
"We've got the rematch with Wilder on at some point as well, then we've got the two AJ fights," Fury said. "Well, one, and then obviously when I batter him he'll want a rematch."
Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs) also acknowledged the report that Wilder (42-1-1) would be willing to accept $10 million to step aside and allow Fury to face Joshua (23-1, 21 KOs) before stepping in for his trilogy match against the "Gypsy King." But Fury said he wants the "Bronze Bomber" completely out of the way before he faces Joshua.
"I'll beat him in the ring and that's how I'll get him out the way," Fury said. "I wouldn't pay him $2 million to step aside.
"I'd rather give him another battering again. I'm going to take him out again for a third time, hopefully end of the year, and then we're going to go into 2021 for the biggest fight in boxing history between two undefeated British heavyweights — me and AJ."
Wilder and Fury were slated to complete their trilogy match on July 18, though the coronavirus pandemic has postponed that bout until the fall. Wilder also needed surgery to repair a left bicep injury he suffered in his seventh-round TKO loss to Fury in February.
Fury, of course, is mistaken in saying Joshua is undefeated; he was shockingly upset by Andy Ruiz in June before winning a December rematch to reclaim the unified heavyweight championship. WIth a win against Joshua, Fury would become boxing's undisputed heavyweight champion (assuming Joshua first wins his match against Kubrat Pulev).
Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn shared the sentiment that Wilder would face Fury before the latter faced off against Joshua. Moreover, he also expects a rematch between the two British heavyweights — with both fights potentially happening in 2021.
"It would probably be a two-fight deal," Hearn told Sky Sports. "Any deal between Fury and AJ, you run it twice."
Beyond Wilder and Joshua, Fury said he has plenty of opponents he would like to take on next:
"There's plenty of fights out there for me to beat up on," Fury said. "You got Dillian Whyte, Jarrell Miller, you got Pulev, you got Ruiz, you got (Luis) Ortiz, you got (Daniel) Dubois, you got (Joe) Joyce — there's loads."
