Why Ajagba wants to fight Tyson Fury
Ajagba wants to fight the undefeated British boxer Fury or anyone in line as his next opponent in his quest to rule the WBC heavyweight division.
The 29-year-old made this known in a post-match interview with Sam Mbonu, confidently declaring his intentions to fight the Gypsy King.

"I want Tyson Fury to be honest, or whoever they offer me to fight, I’m ready to go. I will go back with my team to talk about that."
Who is Efe Ajagba's next opponent after Goodall?
According to the guardian.ng, there are speculations that the next stop for the Rio 2016 Olympics quarterfinalist is unbeaten Chinese star Zhilei Zhang.
A victory over the Chinese colossus is a sure path to a clash with the winner between Fury or the unified WBA, WBO, and IBF heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.

Both men were previously scheduled to fight for the undisputed heavyweight title in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on December 23, 2023. However, it has been postponed to an unannounced date in February 2024 after Fury's harder-than-expected encounter with former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.
