Not long ago, back in 2018, we had a unique and 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 rightful lineal world heavyweight champion.
Three undefeated heavyweights, each of whom had a legitimate claim to call themselves heavyweight champion. It was an exciting time for the heavyweight division and the expectation was that Joshua, Wilder and Fury would have plenty of fights between the three of them. But that didn’t happen. Fury and Wilder had their era-defining epic 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, both now clearly outside the Top 3 where they remained for so long. In that sense, Tyson Fury is the last man standing of his era. Usyk has since emerged as a heavyweight force, but he was not a true contemporary of the other three, where Usyk spent most of the Fury-Joshua-Wilder era as a cruiserweight.
Fury himself ushered in the new era, when he defeated reigning champion Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015, officially marking the end of the Klitschko Era (which lasted from approximately 2004 until the night Fury dethroned Wladimir).
Will a Fury victory 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 provide a quick look at the post-Klitschko era and a look ahead to the December 21 rematch between the two best heavyweights in the world today: Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury. Watch and enjoy the video to get one man’s opinion. This is Rummy’s Corner (produced and narrated by Geoffrey Ciani).
