The champion of the WBC version met after the match with the next rival - the Ukrainian Alexander Usik, the owner of the IBF, WBA and WBO titles, with whom he signed a contract for a fight in Saudi Arabia on December 23.
The king of gypsies, after the knockdown he "survived" in the third round of the fight with the Cameroonian-French fighter, now has the right to request a postponement of that match according to the rules.
The British confirmed that he will do it.
"What happened? What happened is that I won the match, now I have to rest, rest well and analyze what to do next. I will postpone the match with Usik," Fury stressed.
He and Usik had a "sterdown" after the match, which is usually used to heat up the atmosphere, raise the tension and increase the public's attention to their fight, thus increasing earnings.
It is speculated that for two matches in Saudi Arabia, the Gypsy King will be "heavier" by at least 100 million dollars.
Usik welcomed the poor performance of the Briton with joy.
"I will be ready for December 23, I will be ready," said the Ukrainian.
The match in Riyadh was the center of gathering of numerous sports and show business stars, Brazilian Ronaldo, Luis Figo, Rio Ferdinand and MMA fighter, Conor McGregor watched the match together.
