The promoter of the Ukrainian champion Alexander Krasyuk said unpleasant news for fans of the boxer.
Oleksandr Usyk could lose a title without a fight. This was announced by the promoter of the Ukrainian world champion Alexander Krasyuk.
According to the functionary, we are talking about the IBF belt. The International Boxing Federation has very strict conditions for the defense of the title, and since Tyson Fury continues to flee from the fight with the Ukrainian and postpone the fights, the IBF will not wait any longer.
“I think they could be deprived. The IBF follows the rules very strictly, especially in such situations where changes are often made. Before, we were choosing between the WBA and the IBF, and we decided that the WBA was our priority. So when Usyk knocked out Dubois, there was only one choice.
Who knows what might happen in the future if we push this battle forward for 9 months. Tyson Fury may refuse to fight a sixth time, maybe he will decide to do something else, maybe he is not ready to box – we do not know what to expect from him. So, the sooner we have the fight, the better,” Krasyuk admitted in a commentary on Boxing News.
We remind you that the Usyk-Fury fight, scheduled for February 17, has been postponed to May 18. The fight will take place in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Let’s remember that Krasyuk previously explained why May 18 was chosen as the new date for the Fury fight.
