“I was ready to fight on the 23rd (December in Riyadh), but since Fury was injured in his last fight (against UFC champion Francis Ngannou, on October 28), with a knockdown, it is likely that the date be postponed until next year,” said Oleksandr Usyk. The Ukrainian Usyk holds the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO belts. He and Tyson Fury are undefeated.
The long-awaited fight would crown the first undisputed champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999 and the first in the four-belt era.
