Alexander Usik, world heavyweight champion according to WBA, WBO, IBF, spoke about a backup plan in case Tyson Fury, the WBC world champion, will not be able to fight him on December 23.

“Let him leave the belt and rest... Hey, Tyson, we have to do this. We must do this on December 23rd. See you in the ring on December 23,” said Usyk.

Let's remember that Fury's promoter Frank Warren previously said that the fight on December 23 would not happen, and that it would take place early next year.
