The exact date of the fight will become known after the fight between Fury and Ngannou
Calle Sauerlandpromoter of mandatory challenger for IBF heavyweight title Filip Hrgovicstated that the fight for the title of absolute world champion between Tyson Fury And Alexander Usik will not take place on December 23rd.
“The Fury-Usyk fight will not take place on December 23. Let’s make no mistake about this. They won’t fight in December. At the moment, Tyson is the king of the castle. He has his own path, and because of this we suffer in the situation with Hrgovic. Tyson doesn’t care about anyone else because he did what he had to do to get to where he is now. I understand it.
He’ll fight Ngannou, make a ton of money, and then celebrate for a few weeks. This is what Tyson does. Then the Christmas holidays will begin. Fury will have a nice time with his family, have a few drinks, eat a piece of turkey. Then he’ll wake up in January with a few extra pounds. Tyson always has a big training camp. That’s why I see this fight next year,” Sauerland said.
At the end of September, it became known that Usik and Fury signed a contract for a fight for the title of absolute world champion in the heavyweight category. It was reported that the fight is planned to take place on December 23 or January 2024 in Saudi Arabia. It is planned that the exact date of the event will be announced after the fight of the “Gypsy King” with Francis Ngannou.
According to British heavyweight Dereck Chisora, the unification fight will take place in December if Tyson is not injured in the fight with Ngannou.
The winner of the Usyk-Fury fight will be required to defend the IBF belt without any intermediate fights.
