They want to fight on the eve of the 2022 FIFA World Cup final
WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO Heavyweight Champion Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) and WBC title holder Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) can have a unification fight December 17 in Saudi Arabia.
According to the Daily Mail, the parties have already started discussing the organization of the fight. The venue for the fight will be the capital of Saudi Arabia – Riyadh. The total honorary fund is 125 million pounds.
It is curious that they want to fight on the eve of the 2022 FIFA World Cup final in Qatar.
Recall that the former undisputed world champion Lennox Lewis called on Usyk and Fury to hold a unification fight.
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: 115-113, 116-112 and 113-115.
Fury criticized Usyk and Joshua for their rematch.
Recall that the first fight between Usyk and Joshua took place in the fall of 2021. Then the Ukrainian defeated the Briton by unanimous decision.
