Tyson Fury doesn’t currently hold any belts but that may change soon.
The Morecambe man is, for the first time, coming off a loss having been on the wrong side of a points decision after his epic undisputed showdown with Oleksandr Usyk back in May.
He has his chance at redemption in this month’s rematch, which will be for the WBC, WBA and WBO belts after Usyk vacated the IBF, which was then given to Interim Champion Daniel Dubois.
Dubois makes his second defence of the belt following a stoppage of Anthony Joshua next February, the challenger being Joseph Parker.
Speaking to talkSPORT Boxing a few years ago, former WBO champion Parker said he would never fight with Fury due to their friendship and working relationship.
“I’ve always wanted to fight him, because I think he truly is the best of the era and I always like to test myself, but we have a great relationship. He treats me like a younger brother, his whole family looks after me, they’re very generous, I base myself in Morecambe.
“I stay in his house, and train in his gym, so I don’t think I’ll ever fight him. I’ll let him do his thing and I’ll get another pathway and try my best to win the other belts if I can.”
However, Parker’s manager David Higgins has now been speaking to Sky Sports and revealed that his charge has one goal left should he beat Dubois.
“Joseph wants to become undisputed heavyweight world champion. He’s going to give it everything until the day he retires so I’d be lying if I didn’t say that was the goal. He wants to beat Dubois and then he wants to fight whoever has the other belts and try and unify.”
If it’s Fury, the pair have a serious decision to make.
