Tyson Fury must confirm his decision in writing by August 26
WBC President Mauricio Suleiman said he supported the world heavyweight champion’s decision Tyson Fury return to the ring and have a unification fight with the holder of the WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO titles Oleksandr Usyk.
“Fury is an amazing fighter, I’m sure he wants to keep boxing. A fight to unify all the belts would be amazing.”
“If Tyson decides to hang up his gloves and retire, now is a great way to do it with money, with health, with his beautiful family. But if he has the desire to get in the ring, which I think he does, it would be great to see him represent the WBC against Usyk.”
“We gave Fury time to make the right decision. By August 26, we must receive written confirmation of his future plans.
“It’s August now, there’s still time to fight at the end of this or early next year. If this fight takes place, it will be a significant, grand event, wherever it takes place.
Recall that Fury instructed his co-promoter Frank Warren to organize the next fight for the unification of all heavyweight belts with Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk.
Earlier, Usyk’s promoter, Alexander Krasyuk, denied that the fight with Fury would be held on December 17 in Saudi Arabia. According to him, negotiations are ongoing.
According to the Daily Mail, the venue for the fight will be the capital of Saudi Arabia – Riyadh. The total honorary fund is 125 million pounds. They want to fight on the eve of the 2022 FIFA World Cup final in Qatar.
Immediately after the rematch victory over Joshua Usyk called out WBC champion Tyson Fury to fight. Following the results of all twelve rounds, Usyk defeated Joshua by a split decision of the judges.
