Fury said this in a video posted on his Instagram page. The heavyweight from Manchester noted that after the fight with Usyk for the title of absolute world champion in the king's division, he intends to fight Anthony Joshua (27-3, 24 KOs) and give revenge to Francis Ngannou (0-1, 0 KOs).
"I hear people say that I'm going to end my career or I'm going to do it. I will not end my career. I will have two fights with Usyk - twice for the title of absolute world champion. Then I will fight Joshua. Once or twice, if he wants a rematch after I beat him. And then I'll have a rematch with Ngannou. So this is just the beginning. I'm not going anywhere. No way!" Fury emphasized categorically.
