Manager Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) said in an interview with Boxing King Media that December 23 remains the preferred date for the fight with Alexander Usik (21-0, 14 KOs).

According to Brown, the teams of both boxers are doing everything possible to ensure that the fight for the absolute heavyweight champion title takes place this year.

For this to become possible, “The Gypsy King” needs to emerge unscathed from his scheduled fight with former UFC champion Francis Ngannou (0-0, 0 KOs) on October 28th. It is worth noting that both champions have already signed contracts for a fight for four belts, although its date has not yet been precisely determined.
