The two men have been at odds over the past few months, which is a sign of their intention to build momentum for the game. However, there will be no fighting in 2022, as Nagano currently has a contract with the UFC.
After Nagano beat heavyweight boxing champion Cyril Gaine last month, He triggered the rematch clause, meaning he would remain on the list of contracts and sign the contract until he waived the Golden Belt.
It is widely believed that Nagano will be staying at the UFC for another year, and he hopes to reach a new agreement that will allow him to fight Tyson Fury at the boxing ring or in an octagon cage.
Furi has repeatedly said that he wants the Cameroon Nagano game, and even publicly challenged him to the boxing-MMA crossover rules.
However, before facing the winners of Anthony Joshua and O'Olek Usik later this year, Fury will play Against Dillian White.
But Fury still keeps an eye on Nagano and confirms he has made plans to play against the UFC star in 2023.
In an interview with iFL Television, Fury said: "Next March or February, I will play against Francis Nagano in Las Vegas. There weren't any tournaments to negotiate business this year because I had some boxing matches to play. ”
"But next year we can have some crazy battles, it's a huge fight, and I believe it breaks all the PPV records in the United States." Two heavyweight champions face off head-on. ”
Nagano, who would love to get into boxing, said: "It's always been like this, it's something I've been focusing on. ”
