An incredible show is being prepared in the heavyweight division
Two incredibly intriguing fights may take place in the super-heavyweight division of professional boxing this winter. Negotiations are underway to organise a fight for the title of absolute world champion between Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) and Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) in Saudi Arabia, as well as a duel between Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs) and Anthony Joshua (25-3, 22 KOs).
Such data is available from British pundit Simon Jordan, who spoke about it on talkSPORT Boxing, Boxing News 24 reports. He added that the Briton Joshua decided not to return to the ring until December, which indicates certain agreements between the promoters.
"There are rumours of a series of fights in the Middle East, with Fury, Usyk, Joshua and Wilder taking part. And two or three fights are planned. That is, Fury against Usyk, Wilder against Joshua. The two winners of these fights will meet again in the Middle East for the final fight. This will be in line with the reasons why Anthony Joshua will not fight until December. It's an interesting conversation, isn't it? Huge amounts of money," the journalist said.
Fury and Usyk were supposed to fight on April 29, but failed to agree on a contract. Promoter Bob Arum told us how much the Ukrainian would have earned for the fight. After the news about the cancellation of the fight with the Briton, our compatriot decided to leave his training camp and returned to Ukraine. And later he officially got a new opponent.
The Ukrainian's promoter Oleksandr Krasiuk made an unexpected statement about Fury. Our champion himself said that his fight against the Briton will definitely take place.
As OBOZREVATEL reported, it became known what Tyson Fury really wanted from Oleksandr Usyk. And Russian Alexander Povetkin told who he would support in the fight between the British and Ukrainian.
