Tyson Fury offereed WBO shot if he beats Antony Joshua

Boxing News reports that Daniel Dubois has tentatively offered Tyson Fury the chance to fight for the WBO heavyweight title should Fury beat Anthony Joshua on December 11 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. Dubois, who knocked Joshua out in the fifth round in 2024 and now holds the WBO belt, told Sky Sports he would welcome a clash with Fury. The offer arrives amid wider title uncertainty in the division and while Fury has previously indicated he is focused on a trilogy with Oleksandr Usyk.

Offer reported

Dubois tells Sky Sports: 'What a fight' — offers Fury a WBO shot

Boxing News reports that Daniel 'Dynamite' Dubois told Sky Sports he would welcome a fight with Tyson Fury after Fury faces Anthony Joshua. Dubois, who is represented by Frank Warren, told the broadcaster: 'Yeah, what a fight that would be. What a fight.' The story frames Dubois’s comments as a tentative offer of a WBO world title shot for Fury if Fury defeats Joshua on December 11 at the Principality Stadium, Cardiff. Dubois added that he must first get past his next opponent, saying 'anything’s possible.'
Fury-Joshua context

December 11 showdown — a final grand domestic heavyweight test

Fury and Joshua meet on December 11 in Cardiff after years of debate over Britain’s leading heavyweight of the generation. Boxing News notes there is no rematch clause in the fight, meaning the winner could either retire on a landmark victory or pursue further big fights. Fury has previously described Dubois and Fabio Wardley as a level below him and has mostly spoken about pursuing a trilogy with Oleksandr Usyk, who has defeated Fury, Dubois and Wardley. The offer from Dubois presents an alternative path for the eventual victor.
Dubois' status

Dubois holds WBO belt; rematch with Wardley set for this month

Boxing News reports Dubois won the WBO title from Fabio Wardley in May, stopping Wardley in the eleventh round after being knocked down twice himself in a fight described as a Fight of the Year contender. The publication adds that a rematch between Dubois and Wardley is scheduled for this month at London’s O2 Arena. The WBO has not yet named a mandatory challenger for Dubois, according to Boxing News.
Title implications

WBO offer and WBA reports could reshape post‑Cardiff landscape

Boxing News points to wider title uncertainty in the division. Fury is currently ranked number two by the WBO, the report says, and Dubois’s offer would, if accepted, create a straight all‑British world title fight. Separately, Boxing News reports that the WBA has reportedly granted Fury and Joshua permission to fight for a vacant 'super' heavyweight title — despite the organisation having a 'regular' holder in Murat Gassiev who expected an upgrade. Those developments, described as reports, would affect which belts might be at stake depending on how negotiations and sanctioning decisions unfold.
