Tyson Fury teases fans with huge four-fight shortlist for 2022 including Whyte and Joshua

Tyson Fury has teased boxing fans ahead of what could be a huge 2022 for the Gypsy King, as he's reiterated his desire to face numerous fighters.

The WBC world heavyweight champion is on a high following a thrilling victory over Deontay Wilder in October's trilogy bout, bringing an end to his stint in Las Vegas and the pair's rivalry.

Fury is now set to return for bouts in the UK - which will be his first on home soil since 2018 - and is set to face Dillian Whyte early next year.

Following a delay due to an ongoing arbitration with Whyte, the WBC has now ordered the bout to take place - which is expected to be in spring.

That could be the first of as many as four in the next 12 months, with Fury also laying out his plans for the three fights to follow Whyte.

Posting an image on social media that showed Fury's next four ideal opponents, as well as the previous fight against Wilder, he added: "Looking forward to some massive fights next year @WBCBoxing."

After Whyte, it's clear Fury is still keen on facing Anthony Joshua in a heavyweight unification bout - which depends on whether Joshua can win back his three belts in his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk.

A fight against Joshua, or indeed Usyk, would likely be the first of two - with a rematch following. It's expected the first would be in early summer, with the rematch later in summer or in autumn.

Fury is also keen on renewing his rivalry with Derek Chisora, who he's named as another potential opponent - targeting a trilogy bout.

That could see Fury go head-to-head in three huge clashes all involving British fighters, which could result in a huge year for boxing.
