What next for heavyweight division after Fury's win?
Talks are under way for the long-awaited bout to take place at Croke Park in Dublin this September. But nothing has been confirmed. As soon as the scorecards were announced at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Fury was on the mic demanding a "yes or no" answer from long-time rival Joshua about a fight next.
"I challenge you, Anthony Joshua, to fight me next. Do you accept? " Fury announced to the crowd.
But Joshua refused to confirm whether a fight between the pair would happen next, instead calling Fury a "clout chaser". "You aren't going to tell me what to do - I've been chasing you for 10 years," Joshua replied. It remains to be seen whether Joshua will fight Fury next, or if he will instead opt for a warm-up bout, having last fought in December against Jake Paul .
Either way, a potential fight between the two British heavyweights will be a major topic of discussion on the boxing scene this year. Oleksandr Usyk will face former kickboxing champion Rico Verhoeven next Ukrainian great Oleksandr Usyk returns to the ring on 23 May when he defends his WBC title against former kickboxing champion Rico Verhoeven in Egypt. Verhoeven will box for the first time since 2014 when he faces Usyk, who is unbeaten in 24 professional bouts.
Assuming Usyk gets past the 36-year-old, it is unclear what he will do next. He vacated his WBO title instead of facing Fabio Wardley, and may well choose to vacate his other belts too rather than face mandatory challengers in the future. Wardley remains a potential opponent, while many boxing purists were also calling on him to face German boxer Agit Kabayel before the Verhoeven announcement.
