“We will be 100% ready by February. And if this fight fails to be organized, then it will definitely not be our fault, ”said Egis Klimas, manager Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs), about the fight for the unification of all belts in the heavyweight division with Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs).

Fury, the reigning WBC heavyweight champion, is likely to return on December 3rd. It is not yet known with whom, because Plan A for Fury was a meeting with Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs), which already seems rather irrelevant. The Ukrainian IBF, WBA and WBO champion has something to do now. Usyk visits warriors fighting for their homeland, supports them with words and tries to raise their morale. Usyk plans to return to light training soon.

“We hope that everything will work out and we will be able to come to the fight with Fury. He fights on December 3, but sometimes there are injuries to his fingers or hands after fights. For our part, we will be one hundred percent ready by the first quarter of next year. Such a fight could take place in Saudi Arabia, where we had our last fight with Joshua. In the negotiations, everything went very smoothly, and the organization was at the highest level. We would like to return there. For our part, we will definitely be ready by February,” Klimas assures.
