Not so long ago, in 2018, we had a unique and historically unprecedented situation in the history of heavyweight boxing. Anthony Joshua was the undefeated unified IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion, Deontay Wilder was the undefeated WBC heavyweight champion, and undefeated Tyson Fury was still the rightful lineal heavyweight champion of the world .
Three undefeated heavyweights, each of whom had a legitimate claim to being called heavyweight champion. It was an exciting time for the heavyweight division, and the expectation was that Joshua, Wilder and Fury would have plenty of matches between the three of them. But that didn’t happen. Fury and Wilder had their epic era-defining trilogy, and that was it. So far, AJ has not fought the other two.
In recent years, AJ and Wilder have fallen off the radar, now both clearly outside the Top 3 where they were for so long. In this sense, Tyson Fury is the last man of his time. Usyk has since emerged as a heavyweight force, but was not a true contemporary of the other three, with Usyk spending most of the Fury-Joshua-Wilder era as a cruiserweight.
Fury himself ushered in the new era, when he beat long reigning champion Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015, which officially marked the end of the Klitschko era (which lasted from roughly 2004 until the night Fury dethrone Wladimir).
Will a Fury win allow the era to live to see another day? Or will Usyk put the final nail in the coffin?
This edition of The Rummy corner will offer a glimpse into the post-Klitschko era and a look at the December 21st rematch between the top two heavyweights in the world today: Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury. Please watch and enjoy the video for a man’s opinion. This is Rummy’s Corner (produced and narrated by Geoffrey Ciani).
