Arum – about the date of the fight Usyk – Fury: The last week of February or the first week of March

Head of Top Rank Bob Arum spoke about the date of a possible fight between the holder of the WBA / WBO / IBF / IBO heavyweight titles Oleksandr Usyk and WBC champion Tyson Fury.

“I keep in touch almost daily with Egis Klimas, Usyk’s manager, because he is also the manager of the fighters we promote. Discussing the place and date of a possible Usyk-Fury fight, Klimas said that everyone could be satisfied with the last week of February or the first week of March.

Fury’s co-promoter, Frank Warren, also previously claimed that the Usyk-Fury fight could take place early next year. Before that, Tyson plans to hold one more fight.

The British boxer has recently started preparing for his next fight. Fury plans to fight next on December 3, while the Brit’s opponent has not yet been finalized.

Recall that Fury was supposed to fight with Briton Anthony Joshua, but the parties failed to agree on the terms and sign a contract for the fight. Fury’s side says that AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn is to blame for the disruption of the fight.

Fury, after defeating Dillian Whyte in April, announced his retirement twice, but the boxer never vacated the WBC championship belt. On social networks, Tyson has repeatedly discussed a possible fight with the Ukrainian champion Oleksandr Usyk.

In his last fight for the WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight title, Usyk defeated Anthony Joshua. Following the results of all twelve rounds, Alexander defeated Joshua by a split decision: 115-113, 116-112 and 113-115.

Immediately after defeating Anthony in a rematch, Usyk challenged WBC champion Tyson Fury to a fight. Then the Ukrainian said that the fight against Fury in December is impossible.
