Deontay Wilder: Edo Man returns against Zhilei Zhang
Edo Man Deontay Wilder returns against Zhilei Zhang in Saudi Arabia.
With the opportunity to become the first heavyweight champion to go unbeaten since Lennox Lewis in 1999, Fury and Usyk will face off in Saudi Arabia on May 18.
The bout contract has a rematch clause, therefore "The Gypsy King" will face his Ukrainian opponent twice.

Rumors of a fight between Fury and Joshua have been around for a while; Joshua has previously faced Usyk twice and lost both times.
But judging by a recent comment on social media, he might be ready to face the match's victor next month.
H.E. Alalshikh, the head of Saudi boxing, tweeted a photo of himself with the former heavyweight world champion on X.

Although Fury was compelled to fight Deontay Wilder in a trilogy, Joshua and Fury were originally scheduled to square off in 2021.
Then, discussions on a prospective conflict in December 2022 were revived, but they collapsed once more as a result of contract signing delays.

Anthony Joshua to face Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk winner
Boxing fans have been eagerly awaiting the much-discussed all-Brit battle, but Fury is only focused on Usyk.
On social media, he posted a photo with a message that said, "We are waiting for the result of Usyk vs Fury."
)
Before being defeated by a split decision in Saudi Arabia a year later, Joshua was first defeated by a unanimous decision against Usyk in 2021.
If 'The Cat' prevails in his match versus Fury, which is now less than a month away, they might then be prepared for a trilogy fight.
Before Joshua fights either of the two, he must first wait to see who is declared the next undisputed heavyweight champion in the world.
The 34-year-old last competed in a ring match in March, winning via second-round knockout over former UFC champion Francis Ngannou.
