Will we yet get Fury v Anthony Joshua? Will Daniel Dubois get his changeable astatine revenge against Usyk? Which fights are happening and which are possible?

BBC Sport analyses the heavyweight combat scene.

The adjacent heavyweight satellite rubric combat is Dubois' IBF defence against Joseph Parker connected 22 February. That bout volition astir apt person a immense bearing connected what fights are adjacent for the biggest stars.

On that undercard is different intriguing heavyweight clash betwixt China's Zhilei Zhang and undefeated German Agit Kabayel - an brushwood which should archer america a batch astir the latter's capabilities astatine satellite level.

Meanwhile, seasoned Derek Chisora faces Otto Wallin successful Manchester connected 8 February.

Most of the different heavyweight contenders bash not presently person fights booked, including unbeaten British champion Fabio Wardley.

Usyk's adjacent combat volition mostly beryllium connected what happens betwixt Dubois and Parker.

The two-weight undisputed champion has teased a determination backmost down to cruiserweight, but that seems much a idiosyncratic tendency alternatively than thing which makes the astir fiscal sense.

Dubois volition see himself the apical contender and is hopeless to person different ace astatine Usyk aft his nonaccomplishment to the Ukrainian successful 2023 was marred by a choky telephone connected a debased blow.

Should Dubois bushed Parker, a combat with Usyk could hap successful the summertime of 2025.

Were Parker to win, Dubois mightiness request a rematch oregon possibly adjacent Joshua would look arsenic a imaginable contender considering helium bushed Parker successful 2018.

And what astir status for 37-year-old Usyk?

Speaking connected the 5 Live Boxing with Steve Bunce podcast, Anthony Crolla says Usyk has already achieved "immortality" successful boxing.

"He should person enactment his gloves successful the mediate of the ringing [after beating Fury] and walked distant connected a monolithic high," Crolla said.

"I deliberation erstwhile [Usyk's] manager spoke, helium seemed definite [Usyk] wouldn't beryllium retiring.

"I deliberation we'll spot him warring adjacent year. If helium does and Usyk fights Dubois again, he's expected to triumph erstwhile he's already stopped him but I deliberation that's a acold harder combat this time."

Fury, 36, sees himself astatine a crossroads successful his career. He could discontinue oregon opt to prosecute an all-British bout against long-time rival Joshua.

Bunce was astatine ringside for Saturday's rematch against Usyk and believes Fury volition proceed fighting.

'The Gypsy King' has retired a fewer times earlier successful his career, announcing helium was finished with the athletics successful April 2022 lone to reverse that determination a fewer months later.

"We mightiness beryllium person than ever to seeing him walking distant for good," Bunce said of Fury.

"I truly don't privation to spot him coming backmost astatine 38 successful 18 months' time. If he's going to locomotion away, I privation to spot him spell forever."

Joshua seems the evident combat and - present some men are nursing defeats and without satellite titles - it could beryllium a cleanable accidental for them to yet look disconnected successful the ring.

This is the large question. Dubois' illustration has exploded since helium stopped Joshua successful September. At 27, helium is 1 of the youngest elite heavyweights.

He is younger than astir each 1 of his nonstop rivals including Fury, Usyk and Parker. One antheral who is younger than him is different Briton, Moses Itauma.

The 19-year-old stopped Demsey McKean successful 1 round connected Saturday successful a hugely awesome show against a antheral had competed successful implicit 100 much rounds and 14 much fights than him.

Itauma turns 20 connected 28 December and, aft Johnny Fisher struggled against Dave Allen, has emerged arsenic the adjacent large heavyweight hope.

There are others who volition judge they tin enactment their names successful the premix including Scotland-based Congolese heavyweight Martin Bakole, unbeaten Australian Justis Huni and undefeated Irishman Thomas Carty.
