Tyson Fury planning next fight after Deontay Wilder to be against Dominic Breazeale in March, doesn’t anticipate rematch
The Gypsy King is planning a spring 2019 return
Tyson Fury is already looking ahead to the future after his fight with Deontay Wilder on Saturday night.
The Brit is set to challenge for the WBC heavyweight title in the champions’ home country and, despite being the underdog, believes victory is a mere formality.
Although there is an apparent rematch clause in place, Fury insists that he will beat his opponent so convincingly that the American will opt out of a second meeting.
“I don’t think Wilder will take the rematch,” he told
“He won’t take the rematch clause. I’m going to give him that bad of a boxing lesson and beat him up that badly he won’t want that rematch clause.
“He’ll fight Joshua, I think. Even with his loss. He doesn’t have anywhere to go.”
Should he defeat Deontay Wilder to claim the WBC heavyweight world title, Tyson Fury will then be obligated to face his mandatory challenger Dominic Breazeale.
The Gypsy King that Breazeale will be his likely next step after Saturday’s fight and has now announced his planned date for the bout.
“2019 is gonna be an epic year,” Fury continued. “2018 has been a sensational, unimaginable, unthinkable year for me.
“And to top it off with a win over Wilder, we’ll have a great Christmas, and I’ll start my training in January and I’ll be gearing up for March.”
