Tyson Fury's face said it all.
Fresh off of Daniel Dubois decimating Anthony Joshua in a stunning fifth-round knockout upset this past September, the "Gypsy King" could be seen on DAZN cameras ringside at Wembley Stadium in London, England saying "Listen, that's cost me $150 million."
Well, while the thought of a Fury-Joshua mega fight might have momentarily gone up in smoke that night, perhaps plans should be back on for some time in the New Year.
After Oleksandr Usyk defeated Fury for the second time in 2024, delivering a unanimous decision over the British fighter on Saturday night in Riyadh, perhaps the next best move for Fury is for him to have that showdown with Joshua in front of a sold-out Wembley and millions more watching from home.
Both AJ and now Fury have succumbed to Usyk's boxing brilliance twice and that's nothing to bow their heads in shame about, considering the generational talent that is the Ukrainian unified heavyweight world champion.
Usyk defeated Joshua by unanimous decision in September 2021 and via split-decision in August 2022. After defeating Daniel Dubois in August 2023, Usyk spent this year producing a split-decision victory over Fury in May, before Saturday night's unanimous decision over his rival.
Yes, perhaps a $150 million payday is far-fetched, but there's no doubting the star power that would still exist for a Fury-Joshua super fight. It's more than enough to lure dedicated boxing fans, while being poised to scoop up casuals.
Each man is a former unified heavyweight world champion and their meshing of styles in front of 90,000 strong at Wembley would offer an electric night that His Excellency Turki Alalshikh could steer, with Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren handling the promoting duties.
What's more is Fury and Joshua have long entertained a fight and that window is closing with Fury 36 to Joshua's 35.
Hearn isn't wasting time drumming up a Fury vs. Joshua fight.
"The reality is there's only one fight for Tyson Fury and that's Anthony Joshua," Hearn told DAZN after watching Fury lose to Usyk. "It's the biggest fight probably in the history of British boxing. Everyone would always want to see it.
"AJ against Fury is the one."
So while the greatest heavyweight of this generation nod goes to Usyk, the greatest British heavyweight of this era is wide open and can be decided between Fury and Joshua.
