Surely coincidentally, all of this has come up right as Alalshikh and Riyadh Season are selling an Usyk vs Daniel Dubois pay-per-view for July 19.<\/p>\n<p id=\"YidftY\">Anthony Joshua\u2019s name has also come up a lot recently, both in connection to Fury and possibly finally doing that fight, and because he was kinda-sorta called out by Jake Paul after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.badlefthook.com\/2025\/6\/29\/24458135\/jake-paul-wins-wide-decision-over-julio-cesar-chavez-jr-boxing-news-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paul\u2019s June 28 win over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p id=\"XfEz14\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DLnqWTBolUo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fury says<\/a> he has no regrets about never fighting Joshua, commenting, \u201cI don\u2019t regret anything, life\u2019s too short for regrets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"3GLZrf\">Asked about Paul calling Joshua out, Fury remarked, \u201cI think it\u2019s a good fight. I think it\u2019s a real 50\/50 fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"KvHp3x\">It does have to be said that Fury (34-2-1, 24 KO) has taken plenty of cheeky digs at Joshua (28-4, 25 KO) over the years, largely centered on his belief \u2014 or at least stated belief \u2014 that AJ doesn\u2019t have much for boxing skills.<\/p>\n<p id=\"v1HIn8\">Whether Fury really believes Paul vs Joshua would be a \u201c50\/50\u201d fight is pretty unimportant. What\u2019s important, given Fury\u2019s history of taunting AJ whenever possible, is that he\u2019s continuing to do it, and there are still plenty of people who believe we will see Fury vs Joshua at some point, simply because it will be a major money-maker, even if it has passed its prime sales days and won\u2019t get back to what it could have been.<\/p>\n<p id=\"iGmcox\">Usyk vs Fury 3 is believed to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.badlefthook.com\/2025\/7\/3\/24461047\/tyson-fury-names-date-venue-2026-trilogy-fight-oleksandr-usyk-boxing-news-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tentatively set for April 2026 at Wembley Stadium<\/a>, at least according to Fury.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyson Fury is planning a 2026 comeback, as he\u2019s aiming for a third fight with Oleksandr Usyk, which&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":243508,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4108],"tags":[14040,21088,10520,1935,4496,10175,163,94607,10522,26490,65611,10521,254,16374,49617,79,16,15,6691],"class_list":{"0":"post-243507","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-a","9":"tag-anthony","10":"tag-bad","11":"tag-boxing","12":"tag-boxing-news","13":"tag-fight","14":"tag-front-page","15":"tag-fury","16":"tag-hook","17":"tag-jake","18":"tag-joshua","19":"tag-left","20":"tag-on","21":"tag-paul","22":"tag-real","23":"tag-sports","24":"tag-uk","25":"tag-united-kingdom","26":"tag-vs"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114808148738945290","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243507","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=243507"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243507\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/243508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=243507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=243507"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=243507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
