Usyk's last fight took place in July when he knocked out Daniel Dubois in a bout for four belts. Recently, the Ukrainian left his WBO title vacant, which was ultimately claimed by Fabio Wardley. Thus, Usyk's team made it clear that they were not interested in a mandatory defense of the belt against the Briton.

Deontay Wilder returned to the ring in June after losses to Joseph Parker and Zhang Zhilei, defeating second-tier boxer Tyrell Herndon.
