If the WBC world heavyweight champion Briton Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) wins the upcoming third fight with compatriot Derek Chisora (33-12, 23 KOs) this Saturday, then his next opponent will definitely be the Ukrainian owner WBA / WBO / IBF titles Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs).
In any case, Fury’s American promoter Bob Arum, who is also in close contact with Usyk’s team, has no doubts about this.
“I don’t see any reason why the Usyk-Tyson Fury fight can’t be done quickly and without any problems,” says Arum. – I know Usyk’s people very well, his manager Egis Klimas is my good friend. He also handles the cases of Lomachenko and Zhanibek (Alimkhanuly), we have been cooperating for many years.”
“I know Oleksandr Usyk. I know he wants this fight. Some time ago, I talked with Tyson, and he also wants this. And this fight will be next, unless Mr. Chisora hits with his punch, Bob warns. Don’t write off Derek, he’s a tough fighter. And he has a hit. I remember how he fought Usyk and gave him a hell of a fight. The result then could be anything. In our business, chickens can only be counted in the fall.”
Meanwhile, Fury on Usyk fight: “I have more belts than he has pants.”
