Tyson Fury names next four opponents and eyes December bout in Manchester

Tyson Fury has outlined his next four opponents with a list that spans across the course of the next two years, as he seeks to wipe the floor with his opponents.

Fury returns to the ring on October 9th to face Deontay Wilder in a trilogy bout in Las Vegas, which is widely regarded to be the final hurdle before a fiercely-anticipated showdown with Anthony Joshua.

However, Fury doubts that fight will happen before the end of the year and wants to return to the ring in December, where he's stated he's looking to fight Dillian Whyte - potentially in Manchester.

Joshua will then follow in 2022 with a rematch bout in the summer and Fury is then eyeing Derek Chisora, before taking a two-year sabbatical from the boxing ring.

"We’ll do Wilder on October 9, we’ll do Dillian Whyte sometime in December that’s definitely going to happen - I’m going to splatter him for sure - then I’ll do the big bodybuilder [Joshua] in March in Saudi Arabia," he told BT Sport.

"Then we’ll come back and do a bodybuilder rematch fight in September or something then I’ll fight old Del Boy again make it third time lucky in the end of the year maybe December again. Why not, get three victories over him, he’s actually doing well now so I’m really proud of him.

"I do have my next four fights line up. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. I’m going to destroy Wilder, first time Frank’s heard it, then I’m going to take a fight in December because of all the inactivity because I don’t think the Joshua fight will happen in December.

"So yeah, March [for AJ]. What me bucket is, fight Wilder October 9th, I’ll fight Dillian Whyte back in the UK for the first time in years at a stadium up north, Manchester or something in December, let’s get that booked in, shut that bum right up. That’ll be an easy one.

"Then I’ll fight Joshua in March time where it’s in Saudi Arabia, let’s do it. Then we can have a rematch in the summer, back here at Wembley. Then I’ll go out, in my last fifth fight, that’ll be about two years and I’ll fight Derek Chisora.

"That’s five fights and then I’ll take two years out the ring just go absolutely nuts again Frank and I’ll come back at 37 and I’ll wipe the floor up with whoever's next because it’ll take two years to build someone up."
