Tyson Fury could be set to face Oleksandr Usyk in a unification bout following a reported Anthony Joshua decision that will significantly impact the heavyweight scene.
Joshua has reportedly agreed to step aside for a fee of £15m, allowing a unification bout between Fury and Usyk to go ahead.
That would result in a history-making bout, with the winner set to be crowned the first unified heavyweight champion of the four-belt era.
While it wouldn't see Fury go toe-to-toe with Joshua, a fight fans have wanted for over a year, a battle with Usyk certainly whets the appetite.
The ever-outspoken Fury has already issued his verdict on Usyk, accusing him of taking steroids and dubbing him a 'dosser' in a recent tirade.
“I cannot believe that AJ has gone and given Ukraine all the heavyweight belts back, after all my hard work of getting them. You big useless dosser!" He said earlier this month.
“You’ve let a little steroid man come up from middleweight and set about you and take all your belts.
“It is going to have to take a real British Lancaster Bomber, like me, to go and relieve the useless little steroid head of the belts and get them back to Britain. You useless dossers! Bring them to me, the Gypsy King.
“Bring them to me and I will put them in their place and relieve them of the belts again.”
Fury is currently locked in talks with Dillian Whyte for a WBC mandated fight, with purse bids delayed on three occasions and now set for Wednesday.
