The Englishman is the WBC heavyweight champion of the world. The Ukrainian has the other three belts - IBF, WBA and WBO. The best of this pair can become the first united champion in all four versions, as the WBO title is currently quoted on a par with the others. The last outright king in the era of the three champion belts was Lennox Lewis.
The United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Saudi Arabia are potential locations for this historic encounter. The fight could take place on February 11 or 18. This information was confirmed by ESPN journalist Mark Kriegel, citing an interview with Fury's promoter Bob Arum.
