Frank Warren is arranging a show for Tyson Fury and Daniel Dubois, as well as Dubois II, for his three heavyweight clients. Dubois faces Oleksandr Usyk in a WBA-approved match over in Wroclaw, Poland, on August 26, and Joyce rematches Zhang Zhilei against the Chinese puncher five months after his shock loss to the Chinese puncher. Fury's next move is less certain, but he is likely to box in either August or September against a newly unidentified adversary. Many had hoped that his next fight would be a warm-up bout for all-four major sanctioning body belts in December, but Warren has since announced that the 'Gypsy King' will not be available in that time frame.

Tyson Fury is running out of options for his next fight after a string of failed attempts to coerce several of the world's best heavyweights into facing him, but there are still a few names that could be usefully boxed in the summer. Fury recently in touch with Anthony Joshua to schedule an all-British match in September. However, AJ has already got plans for a match against Dillian Whyte in August and a blockbuster showdown against Deontay Wilder to close the year, but it won't be free. The Gypsy King started talks with Zhang Zhilei and Andy Ruiz Jr. in September, but Fury claims Ruiz Jr. paid him out of negotiations by demanding a £20 million bounty. Fury and Oleksandr Usyk struggled to win the first undisputed heavyweight match of the four-belt season in April, much to the dismay of boxing fans.

Following the Ukrainian's unanimous decision victory last September, Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk are due to meet again on August 20 in a heavyweight rematch. It looks like it will be a tense contest between two men who have both been at the top of the sport for the past decade. Joshua and Usyk both competed in separate weight classes at the 2012 Olympics in London, with the Brit in the super-heavyweight category and the Usyk fighting a division below as a heavyweight.
