The Ukrainian world champion can defend his IBF title against Philip Hrgovic.
Promoter Eddie Hearn has reacted to Tyson Fury’s possible refusal to fight Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia. It will be remembered that earlier this was reported by some media with reference to the promoter of the British boxer.
According to Hearn, nothing critical will happen in this case, and the boxing evening will still take place in the Middle East in December. The Ukrainian will only fight to defend his title against his ward.
“Today or tomorrow we have a teleconference planned with investors from Saudi Arabia. Even Wilder’s representatives will be there, I hope that in this meeting we will finally close all the issues. The happening around the fight of Usyk-Fury will not affect our plans in any way.
We have already agreed that the Joshua-Wilder fight will still take place. If Fury refuses to fight Usyk, Alexander will fight his IBF mandatory challenger Filip Hrgovic on the same boxing night,” Hearn was quoted as saying by Ring Polska.
