in an non-title exhibition bout in Saudi on 28 October.
Usyk, who has held the IBF, WBO and WBA heavyweight titles since his 2021 victory over Anthony Joshua, recently defended the titles against Daniel Dubois in Poland in August. The heavyweight rivals came face-to-face in London last December following Fury’s victory over Derek Chisora with hope their historic fight would be agreed for the first half of 2023.
An April date at Wembley Stadium looked set only for talks to fall through in spectacular fashion. A 70-30 split of the first purse in Fury’s favour was agreed but the two camps were unable to agree terms relating to contracted rematch between the pair later down the line.This week, Fury was once again asked whether a meeting with the undefeated Ukrainian will follow his fight with Ngannou.
