Bob Arum, co-promoter of the WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, reported that the official announcement of his ward’s megafight with the holder of the WBA, WBO and IBF titles Alexander Usik should take place tomorrow.
“I can confirm that they will fight each other in Saudi Arabia. There will be a press conference in London on Thursday where they will confirm the date and all other details related to the organization of this fight. Yes, the fight will take place. I can't wait for it.
Fury is ready to fight in February if the fight happens. Ngannou has shown himself to be very talented. Nobody bet on him because he never had such a big fight. The fight with Usyk is completely different because Alexander has been seen in action many times. I think that Tyson will be much better prepared for a fight with him than for Ngannou.
I'm very confident in Tyson Fury. He is an excellent athlete and will show his best in the fight with Usyk. I sincerely believe that their fight will become a classic,” Sky Sports quotes Arum.
