Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) a long line of contenders, but now they are first Alexander Usik (21-0, 14 KOs) and Francis Ngannou (0-1).

“I would really like this fight to take place in February. I was ready for December 23rd, but Fury was on the floor in his last fight and suffered a few minor injuries. The difference for me is that I will work a little more on technique. As usual, I don’t focus on my opponent, only on myself,” said Usyk.

“I want my next boxing fight to be a rematch with Fury. So I’ll be waiting for his fight with Usyk. I prefer this rematch to a possible fight with Joshua,” Ngannou admitted.

Fury's promoter Frank Warren has rejected suggestions that Tyson could retire after an unsuccessful fight in Saudi Arabia.
