Frank Warren in an interview with talkSport.com confirmed the information that the fight between Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) and Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) will take place no earlier than January.

The Skll Challenge Promotion group planned to hold a boxing night in Saudi Arabia in December, but the project will be put on hold, according to Warren. Fury was previously scheduled to fight in the UK, which is likely to take place in September.

It is not yet known with whom the "Gypsy King" will cross gloves in the fall. At the same time, Warren believes that next year he will organize a unification fight between Fury and Daniel Dubois, who, according to the British promoter, should defeat Usyk and take away three championship titles from the Ukrainian.

The bout between Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder was also scheduled to take place at an evening originally scheduled for December in Saudi Arabia. It is not yet known whether the confrontation between the American and the British will also be postponed to next year.
