Frank Warren releases Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk fight update

Frank Warren has stated that he expects Tyson Fury to face Oleksandr Usyk in a heavyweight unification bout.

The Daily Mail revealed that talks are already underway to see the Gypsy King return to action after Usyk defeated Anthony Joshua, winning in convincing fashion to reclaim the WBA, IBF and WBO whilst also taking the vacant Ring Magazine title, given up by Fury.

It comes after Fury has once again reversed his decision to call time on his boxing career to challenge Usyk. And now, the Mail has reported that a fight date has been 'pencilled in' for December 17 in Saudi Arabia - the night before the World Cup final in Qatar.

And Fury's UK promoter Warren has added fuel to that fire, stating that he expects a fight to happen.

Warren told BBC Radio 5 live on Monday: "He and Usyk would be a really good fight. It’s a fight that I think will be made because both teams would like to see that happen. Usyk said after the fight that it’s the only fight he’s interested in and it’s certainly the same case with Tyson. It’s just a matter of where it will generate the most income because it’s a unique fight, a historic fight.

"It’s the first time for God knows how long that the four belts are on the line. Both fighters are undefeated. The whole world of boxing will be captivated by this fight."
