Promoter of the world champion according to WBA, WBO and IBF versions Alexandra Usika Alexander Krasyuk confirmed that his client’s fight against the WBC belt holder Tyson Fury will not take place on December 23rd as previously planned.
“We expected Fury to face Usyk on December 23rd. This was our agreement, which both parties signed. But we have been in boxing for a long time and understand that if a fighter is not ready and does not want to enter the ring, he will never do it.
We need to be flexible. Usyk will not fight on December 23rd. The fight has been rescheduled for early 2024. Alexander is currently working on promotional material for the fight, and then will return to the training camp in Spain,” Krasyuk told the iFL TV YouTube channel.
Let us remind you that on October 28, Fury won a split decision victory over former UFC champion and pro debutant Francis Ngannou in a competitive confrontation.
