Famous American trainer Teddy Atlas does not believe that the rematch of Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury will take place in October, as stipulated in the contract.

"Forget about who Fury will fight next. They should have a rematch. I can't believe it's going to take place in October. After everything these guys have been through physically and they've also had three training camps in a row. The bout was supposed to happen, but it didn't. Tyson Fury took damage. Then he got a dissection and the fight was postponed a second time.

I doubt they'll fight in five months in October. I doubt that physically they'll be ready to do it again. I can't believe that. They talk about it, that date is spelled out in the contract, but contracts as good as ink on paper. And the ink can be crossed out," said Atlas.

Recall that on May 18 Usyk defeated Fury by a split decision of judges (115-112, 114-113, 113-114) and became the absolute world champion in the heavyweight division.
