Boxing: After winning a split decision bout against Francis Ngannou, Tyson Fury said he will take a break before considering Oleksandr Usyk
Fury to rest before possible Usyk fight | 02:19AUSTRALIA’S undefeated Sam Goodman has declared himself ready for a shot at Japanese megastar Naoya Inoue – or even a shock push for featherweight gold – after signing on for his first major No Limit headliner.
Having already gone undefeated through his first 16 fights, and defeated two top five fighters in his past three showdowns, the rising super bantamweight now wants to parlay his Sydney showcase into a world title blockbuster showdown — with Inoue, arguably the greatest fighter anywhere on earth, among the potential rivals.Naoya Inoue of Japan is one of the world’s finest fighters.
It means that while Goodman is ranked No. 1 for both the WBO and IBF crowns, he will have to wait until at least after Christmas to see who his own title shot will come against.Should the Monster again become undisputed, there have been suggestions he will vacate immediately to chase big money fights in higher weight classes.
While Goodman is ready for a shot at Inoue – who sits behind only Terence Crawford in pound-for-pound rankings – both the fighter and his manager Pete Mitrevski stressed they will not sit idle or be dictated to by others when it comes to chasing world title belts.“Inoue definitely unifies,” he told Fox Sports Australia.“Every day I’m hearing a new whisper – he will vacate straight away, he defends once, defends twice … it’s changing all the time.
