World boxing champion according to WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight titles Alexander Usik estimates there is a 70 percent chance that his fight will be with the owner of the missing WBC title to complete his collection Tyson Fury will take place on the appointed date.

“God has a plan. I don’t know what the likelihood of a fight is. I believe that the fight will take place. Not 100%, more like 70. But sooner or later the fight will happen,” the Ukrainian said in an interview with Sky Sports.

Let us remind you that the fight between Usik and Fury was supposed to take place on February 17 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, but was canceled due to a cut the Briton received during training. The boxers are now scheduled to share the ring on May 18 there.
