TYSON FURY has been told he will have the opportunity to bounce back from his conclusive points defeat by Oleksandr Usyk in Saturday’s rematch by taking on Anthony Joshua at Wembley.

Fury declined to say if he would fight on after he was beaten by a unanimous points decision in Riyadh, with all three judges awarding the decision to WBA, WBC and WBO champion Usyk by the score of 116-112.

The 36-year-old said “who knows?” when pushed on whether he will continue, adding he will make a decision next year having taken some time off following another gruelling showdown with the remarkable Usyk.
