Usyk's team director hopes Fury fight will go ahead

Sergey Lapin, director of Oleksandr Usyk's team, expressed hope that the fight between the Ukrainian boxer and Tyson Fury for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion will still take place.

“We hope Usyk-Fury will take place. We hope Usyk gets the opportunity to be the first to knock out Fury. But now we are completely focused on defending titles against Dubois. We respect Dubois, the only Warren heavyweight who hasn't lost his balls," the functionary said.

Recall, on August 26, Usyk will meet in the ring with Daniel Dubois. Their confrontation will head the boxing evening in Wroclaw.
