​Oleksandr Usyk is unsure who will emerge victorious if Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua collide at some point in 2025. 

The heavyweight rivals have been on a collision course for the best part of a decade and there’s a good chance their feud will finally be settled this year. 

Last year, both Fury and Joshua endured difficult moments as each fighter suffered losses, and their way back to the top could be a fight against each other. 

Fury was beaten twice by Oleksandr Usyk with the first loss occurring in one of boxing’s biggest ever fights when Usyk became the first undisputed champion since 1999 with a points win

Joshua began the year impressively as he took only two rounds to eliminate the threat of former UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou.

That result was intended to be a platform to push on and become IBF ruler against Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium, but J oshua was dropped four times as he was knocked out in round five

It is unsure whether either man can become champion again as they both ponder their next move, but a showdown between Joshua and Fury is still likely to be boxing's biggest fight. 

Usyk, who holds two victories over both fighters, has had his say on who will win. 

“Who wins? I don’t know,” said Usyk when speaking to IFLTV

“I think my friend Greedy Belly [Tyson Fury]. Maybe Joshua.”
