Tyson Fury is running out of options for his next fight after a series of failed attempts to coax several of the best heavyweights in the world into facing him - but there are still a few names that he can realistically box in the summer.
Fury recently made contact with Anthony Joshua to set up an all-British clash in September.
However, AJ already has plans in place for a rematch against Dillian Whyte in August followed by a blockbuster showdown versus Deontay Wilder to close out the year - and so won't be free.
The Gypsy King also opened talks with Zhang Zhilei and Andy Ruiz Jr although the Chinese puncher is contracted for a second fight with Joe Joyce in September while Fury alleges Ruiz Jr priced himself out of negotiations by demanding a £20million purse.
This comes after Fury and Oleksandr Usyk failed to get the first undisputed heavyweight fight of the four-belt era over the line in April - much to the dismay of boxing fans.
The remaining options pale in comparison to the aforementioned but are all that remain considering the circumstances. Here, Mail Sport takes a look at five names Fury could face next - even if they aren't the most appealing propositions.
