The day that has been awaited by boxing fans since the beginning of this year has finally arrived. Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk have joined hands to make the undisputed championship fight a reality by the end of the year. The fighters have announced that they have both signed the contracts. Also, the bout is scheduled to happen on December 23, 2023, in Saudi Arabia. However, before that, Fury has another contest to worry about right now.
The WBC heavyweight champion is scheduled to take on the former UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou. The biggest crossover event will be going down by the end of this month in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. So, Fury’s going to dismiss all the ducking accusations floating on the internet. He’d be fighting two major fights in just a span of two months. The fans are worried about its influence on the undisputed contest.

Recently, the fight Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou was promoted on the newly-built MSG sphere, even though the fight will be taking place in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It was also branded as the biggest heavyweight fight, which didn’t sit well with a lot of fans. Fury himself believes Usyk is a “nobody” when it comes to selling fights.
One of the fans pointed out that the banner looks quite magnificent, and they also find both fights happening quite surreal.
That looks unreal 🙌🏼.
The 2 biggest heavyweight events of the year will be Fury vs Ngannou and Fury vs Usyk – what an end to the year 🔥!

Another fan showed some skepticism about ‘The Gypsy King’ taking on two fights on such short notice; they believe that Fury will find a way to pull out of the Usyk fight.
So this fight is still happening yet Fury has an undisputed fight two days before Christmas, yeah, pull the other one 😂 He ain’t fighting Usyk 🙄 #FuryNgannou

One fan was afraid that his fight with Francis Ngannou, hopefully, wouldn’t become the reason for not taking up the fight against ‘The Cat’.
I just hope this no need of an event doesn't give Fury an excuse to delay the undisputed fight.

Additionally, a fan stated that they wanted this fight to get out of the way as quickly as possible. So that Fury can put all of his attention toward the undisputed fight.
Just want this fight to hurry up and be done with so we can fully focus on the IUndisputed fight.
