Usyk wants to fight Fury on March 4

Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) would like his fight for four heavyweight belts with Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) took place in the first quarter of 2023.

“It would be ideal to organize this fight in February or early March, for example, on March 4,” said the Ukrainian WBO, WBA and IBF champion.

“I am a follower of the Orthodox Church and I don’t fight during Lent, so the duel should be before or after Easter [April 16], Usyk explained. “I want to fight Fury because he has a fourth belt and until I get it, I’m not interested in other fights.”
