Tyson Fury, the WBC heavyweight champion, has almost got what he was craving for months. He wanted an undisputed championship fight against Oleksandr Usyk. Though he tried to make it happen this year, he failed because the Ukrainian was not ready. The latter wanted some time to prepare for this mega-event.

Meanwhile, ‘The Gypsy King’ locked a trilogy fight with his longtime rival Dereck Chisora. The duo met at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London where Fury produced a dominating offense. He stopped Chisora in the 10th round and won the fight by TKO.
Following this win, talkSPORT brought in an exciting development. It confirmed Fury vs Usyk is almost done for the undisputed heavyweight world title.

Camps have been in negotiations for weeks prior to the Derek Chisora fight. Target dates of Feb 18th – March 4th in Middle East.”

Another fan did not think the fight was going to happen on a speculated date. He recalled what Fury mentioned in the post-fight speech. The 34-year-old had talked about an injury in his elbow. He has to undergo surgery to recover from that.
