If the fight for the title of absolute champion of the heavyweight division between Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) and Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) does not take place on April 29 at Wembley Stadium in London, as everyone hopes, the Briton can hold the fourth battle with former WBC champion Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs). This insider was published by the guys from
World Boxing News.
WBN can confirm that Fury has been in secret negotiations with Wilder for several weeks.
Their first meeting ended in a draw, in the second and third the Briton won ahead of schedule.
Usyk – Fury. Wilder shared a ridiculous prediction
“Because AJ made up his mind and didn’t want to fight Deontay right now, we settled on Andy Ruiz and the mystery line. (We are talking about Fury, according to the British resource – ed.). A mystery fight is not as guaranteed as a fight with Ruiz. If you look at it from a business point of view, most likely it will still be a fight with the mandatory challenger, Ruiz, ”Wilder’s coach Malik Scott told Best Sports Boxing Canada.
Recall that Alexander has obligations to applicants from the WBA, IBF and WBO – Daniel Dubois, Filip Hrgovic and Joe Joyce. These guys won’t wait patiently while Usyk’s and Fury’s sides tediously put off and put off the fight date.
The other day, Tyson admitted that he was disappointed with the progress regarding this fight.
