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 the undefeated Tyson Fury was still the true lineal heavyweight champion of the world.
Three undefeated heavyweights, each of whom had a legitimate right to call themselves the heavyweight champion. It was an exciting time for the heavyweight division, with Joshua, Wilder and Fury expected to have a stack 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. To date, AJ has not fought the other two.
In recent years, AJ and Wilder have fallen off the radar, now both are well outside the Top 3 where they stood for so long. In that sense, Tyson Fury is the last man of his era. Usyk has since emerged as a heavyweight force, but has not been a true contemporary of the other three, where Usyk spent most of the Fury-Joshua-Wilder era as a cruiserweight.
Fury ushered in a new era himself, when he defeated longtime champion Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015, officially marking the end of the Klitschko era (which lasted from roughly 2004 until the night Fury dethroned Wladimir).
Will a Fury win allow the era to see another day? Or will Usyk put the final nail in the coffin?
This edition of Remy’s corner will provide a quick look at the post-Klitschko era and a look ahead to the December 21st rematch between two of the best heavyweights in the world today – Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury. Please watch and enjoy the video for one man’s opinion. This is Rummy’s Corner (producer and narrator Geoffrey Ciani).
