TYSON FURY could be back by April, before he looks to fight Anthony Joshua or Oleksandr Uzyk for the undisputed title by October.
Deontay wilder was knocked out by Fury in round 11 of their Las Vegas trilogy bout.
Tyson Fury could be back by April
He will now face the winner of Dillian Whyte (33), and Otto Wallin (30), who fight on October 30, respectively.
Joshua, who lost the unified titles in September, has now invoked his right for an immediate rematch against Usyk.
This leaves no chance of a historic, four-belt, undisputed title decider being made before the end of this year.
Bob Arum, Fury's US promoter, told FightHub that "Joshua & Usyk," and they will wait until April 4.
"I believe Fury will fight again March or April. We can then look at a September match or October for unification.
Joshua, 31 and Fury 33, reached an agreement for an all-British Unification in Saudi Arabia, August 14.
Wilder, however, at 35, was still owed the contracted trilogy fight. He took his case to arbitration, and was awarded the verdict.
This means that AJ was ordered to defend the title against Ukrainian Usyk and was defeated over 12 rounds.
Fury defeated Wilder a few weeks later to keep his WBC title.
Arum believed that a deal could be reached for Joshua to stand out and allow Usyk, 34 to fight for all the marbles.
He stated that he believed Joshua would not be willing to take a step back and would like to see a rematch.
"Which is kind of stupidity on his behalf because he will not beat Usyk in his next bout no matter what strategy he uses."
