According to the British tabloid Telegraph, citing anonymous sources, Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) is close to making a decision to temporarily refuse to participate in a rematch with Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs).

The Briton is allegedly ready to take 15 million pounds of compensation and allow the Ukrainian to have a unification fight for four heavyweight championship belts with Tyson Fury (31-0-1, 22 KOs). Then AJ will face the winner.

According to the latest information, Fury is expected to return to the ring on March 26 in Cardiff. A tender has been scheduled for Wednesday to organize the fight between the "King of the Gypsies" and Dillian Whyte (28-2, 19 KOs).
