The teams of two world boxing champions are negotiating a heavyweight unification bout.
The fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury could still happen. Moreover, the teams of both the world champions have already started negotiations on its handling. This was reported by talkSPORT journalist Michael Benson.
A well-known insider learned the information from the promoter of British WBC champion Frank Warren. The functionary believes that the unification duel could be held at the beginning of next year.
At the same time, Warren did not give up his intention to appeal the result of Usyk’s fight with his other ward, Daniel Dubois, and wanted to arrange a rematch.
