Tyson Fury makes world title shot promise to friend Joseph Parker if he wins next fight
Tyson Fury has been struggling to find an opponent of late, but it seems he might have found one in his friend Joseph Parker.
'The Gypsy King' is currently in Australia to support Parker in his next fight against Faiga Opelu that will take place on May 24.

After joining Parker at the press conference, Fury was asked whether he would ever give the former WBO heavyweight world champion a shot at his WBC strap.
"If he gets through this fight then he gets to fight me next in Australia," Fury said before giving the crowd a wink suggesting he may not be serious.
With that being said, it seems Fury is genuinely looking to fight down under, as he continued: "I'm looking to do a fight [in Australia].
"So I'll be going up and down the country looking at different stadiums over the next few days... I'm 100% serious."

This comes as Fury's team have reportedly been in talks for an undisputed clash with Oleksandr Usyk in December in Saudi Arabia.
The fight would take place as part of a Saudi Arabian funded heavyweight tournament that would also feature Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder.
Although, Fury has made it clear that he would rather fight Usyk in the UK this summer.
"I'm sick of all this back and forward 'he said, she said'. Why don't we just do this?" Fury said on Instagram.
