The WBC heavyweight champion could face the former UFC champion.
British WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury dreams of fighting Oleksandr Usyk and making big money from it.
What if the match doesn’t take place? In this case, the WBC heavyweight champion has already prepared a backup plan, which also promises financial gain.
The Briton said that if he can’t get in the ring with the Ukrainian, he will fight former UFC champion Cameroonian Francis Ngannou. Fury’s co-promoter Frank Warren confirmed that they are indeed considering Ngannou as a fallback.
“This is the option that Tyson mentioned in our conversation. Yes, we are considering this option if the Usyk fight falls through, but I doubt it will happen.
What we are currently working on is a fight with Usyk, but this position is also open,” the Boxing News 24 promoter quotes.
It will be remembered that the fight between Fury and Usyk should take place in the first half of this year.
