In contrast to his public statements, the “Gypsy King” was extremely polite
Spencer Brown, manager of the WBC titleholder Tyson Furyconveyed the words of the British boxer, which he said in a direct telephone conversation with the holder of the WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO belts Alexander Usik immediately before concluding a contract for a joint fight.
“Thank you very much, I look forward to seeing you in the ring and after that I would like you to come and see me in Morecambe. Bring your children with you, we’ll spend the weekend together,” Tyson told the Ukrainian champion.
At the end of September, Usyk and Fury signed a contract for a unification fight. The fight is planned to take place on December 23 or January 2024 in Saudi Arabia. It is expected that the exact date of the event will be announced after the fight of the “Gypsy King” with ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou.
Usyk defeated Briton Daniel Dubois in his last fight on August 26. Fury is preparing for a fight with Ngannou, which will take place on October 28.
