The fight between Alexander and Tyson may take place in January next year
WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO World Heavyweight Champion Oleksandr Usyk commented on the situation with the unification bout against the world heavyweight champion according to the WBC Tyson Fury.
“There was a lot of talk from Fury, a lot of uncertainty. Time wasting and some strange factors – either a rematch, or a division of the fee 70 to 30, then something else. I understand this: if we want to box with each other, then we just need to sign a contract. And that’s all.”
“If Fury is as incredible as he claims, then let him sign a contract and beat me. If he is really so cool, ”summed up the Ukrainian.
In April, Fury planned to have a unification fight with Usyk, but the Ukrainian pulled out of negotiations due to contract disagreements.
Recall, Skill Challenge Entertainment plans to organize a boxing evening in Saudi Arabia with two fights Usyk-Fury and Joshua-Wilder. Insider Simon Jordan expressed doubt that the event in Saudi Arabia will be able to bring together the four best fighters in one evening.
The promoter of the Ukrainian Oleksandr Krasyuk said that the duel between Usyk and Fury was planned for December 26. Now the new potential date for the face-to-face meeting between Tyson and Alexander is January 27, 2024.
On August 26, Usyk will fight against Daniel Dubois. The fight will take place in Wroclaw, Poland, at the Tarczynski Arena.
Fury has been cleared by the WBC to fight former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. Their meeting is scheduled for October 28 in Riyadh.
