Suleiman: Fury did everything he could

Andrew Karlov July 13, 2023, 8:01 a.m.

Mauricio Suleiman confirms WBC title Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) in the heavyweight division will not be put on the line in his duel with Francis Ngannou.

“Tyson asked the WBC for special permission to hold this fight. As we all know, Fury has gone all out to get a fight with Oleksandr Usyk since last December. He also tried to sign contracts for fights with Anthony Joshua and Andy Ruiz Jr.,” said the president of the World Boxing Council.

“He failed to secure a fight with a top opponent. He also does not have a designated mandatory challenger. That's why we allowed him to fight Ngannou," Suleiman added.
