Tyson Fury’s destruction of Derek Chisora in front of 59,000 fans at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on Saturday brought to a close a thrilling year of heavyweight action.<\/span><\/p>\n

Exciting knockouts, two world title contests in the UK and the retirement and subsequent return of one of the sport’s greats has made 2022 an unforgettable year.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

But 2023 could be even better with a host of contenders emerging and potentially the first undisputed heavyweight contest in 23 years on the horizon.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is next for Fury?<\/h3>\n

After the 24th stoppage victory of his 34-fight career, Fury firmly staked his claim as the world’s best heavyweight.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are, however, two active heavyweights the 34-year-old has not yet faced – <\/span>Oleksandr Usyk <\/strong>and <\/span>Anthony Joshua<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are positive signs a fight with fellow undefeated world champion and IBF, WBO and WBA belt holder Usyk can be made early next year. Both sides have repeatedly said an <\/span>agreement is “close”.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
