Tyson Fury is evaluating whether to take another fight before his anticipated clash with Anthony Joshua, as activity ahead of that matchup becomes a real possibility. With Joshua already set to return against Kristian Prenga, attention has shifted to Fury’s next move and whether he will stay active in the meantime.
A new option has emerged in the form of WBO heavyweight champion Fabio Wardley, who has openly called for the opportunity. “I want to compete with the best and test myself… let me know who it is, I’ll say yes,” Wardley said, making it clear he is ready for a high-profile bout.
The situation adds pressure on Fury’s camp to make a decision, especially with recent news indicating that Tyson Fury could be planning another fight and multiple contenders trying to position themselves for a major bout before the end of the year.
Wardley targets top names to elevate his status
Wardley has made it clear that his ambitions go beyond just one opponent. Alongside Fury, he has also mentioned Oleksandr Usyk as a potential target, showing his willingness to face the division’s elite.

His approach reflects a broader strategy to prove himself quickly at the highest level. Taking on a name like Fury would not only elevate his profile but also reshape the current landscape of the heavyweight division.
Risk grows as heavyweight plans remain fluid
For Fury, taking a fight before Joshua could help maintain rhythm and sharpen his form. However, it also introduces risk at a crucial moment, with a major bout already planned later in the year.
