Tyson Fury drools over dream fight card with him and Usyk headlining and Crawford, Spence Jr and Canelo in action

TYSON FURY drooled over a mythical fight card that saw him headline against Oleksandr Usyk.

The Ring Magazine shared the fights they want to see in 2022, with the Gypsy King and Usyk, 34, topping the bill.

Fury, 33, shared the mocked up poster and tweeted: “Imagine if this card could be made.”

The headline act was almost made into reality when Middle Eastern backers fronted talks and cash for the pair to unify their titles in Saudi Arabia.

But Anthony Joshua, set to rematch Usyk following defeat in September, was unable to agree a step-aside deal.

It means Joshua, 32, will proceed with his contracted rematch, while Fury will fight mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte, 33.

Further down the card is the welterweight clash between unbeaten pair Errol Spence Jr and Terence Crawford.

The two have failed to agree terms in the past but with Crawford, 34, now a free agent, the super-fight has new life.

Canelo Alvarez, 31, also features in a matchup against WBC and IBF light-heavyweight title holder Artur Beterbiev.

Beterbiev, 37, is boxing’s only champ with a 100 per cent knockout ratio, with the feared Russian tipped as Canelo’s most competitive challenger.

Rounding out the card is a lightweight grudge match between Gervonta Davis, 27 and rival Ryan Garcia.

The two verbally agreed to fight in 2021 but an injury to 23-year-old superstar Garcia’s hand kept him sidelined for the the year.

Davis has established himself as a pay-per-view attraction but is yet to meet a high-profile name in the ring.

Undefeated Garcia is perhaps the biggest commercial draw in the lightweight division, even without a world title.
