At the same time, the knockdown suffered by the Gypsy King in the fight with Francis Ngannou (0-1, 0 KOs) reduced his chances of winning the fight against our compatriot.

It was originally planned that the date of the British champion's fight with Usyk would be announced immediately after the end of Fury's fight against Ngannou.
