A heavyweight unification fight between IBF, WBO and WBA champion Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) and WBC champion Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) is almost agreed upon, there are potential dates and venue. About it
talkSPORT said the manager of the Ukrainian Egis Klimas.
According to him, negotiations about the megafight began even before Fury’s third fight with Chisora, so now everything is moving supposedly quickly.
“I spoke to Queensbury Promotions earlier and we spoke to Top Rank [8 декабря] in the morning. We are all on the same wavelength and almost finished, it remains to discuss some little things, – assures Klimas. “Two heavyweights, the best in the world today, the absolute championship … That’s what the fans need.”
According to the functionary, “most likely, the battle will no later than March 4and will most likely take place in the Middle East.”
Chisora picks Usyk-Fury favorite
“But during today’s conversation, I heard that there are other options, for example, London, Qatar, — added Egis, although Qatar is also the Middle East. – Most likely, we will aim at Saudi Arabiabecause they are very interested in this fight. The Saudis love Usyk.”
Promoter Frank Warren (Queensberry Promotions) believes that his client will shorten Usyk. And earlier, the WBC boss shared his opinion: you will like what you hear.
