Disqualification is imminent: Usik received a warning before his fight with Fury

The organizers of the grand show with the top super heavyweights of the world are against having interim fights before the boxing night in December. Promoters are afraid of injuries or unexpected defeats of the main stars of the division, which can lead to their elimination from the tournament.

Amir Abdallah, head of boxing at promoter Skill Challenge Entertainment, told iFL TV's YouTube channel. He confirmed that Saudi Arabia intends to organize Alexander Usik - Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua - Deontay Wilder fights on the same night.

"These guys have to stay active, but they can get injured. What if God forbid, a situation happens where one of these guys loses? I wouldn't say that an unconvincing performance in an interim fight will get them disqualified, but a loss will probably end up doing just that. What if Usik makes a mandatory defense and suddenly loses? So the fight with Fury won't be for the title of absolute world champion, and it doesn't matter that much anymore," Abdallah said.

Earlier this promoter stated that the organizers already have a specific date for the grand heavyweight show. Also, the media published boxers' fees for the grand show. The total amount will be at least $250 million. That said, Anthony has already confirmed his fight against Deontay.

As reported by OBOZREVATEL, the next fight of Alexander Usik caused a real stir in Poland. The legendary Lennox Lewis gave his forecast for the confrontation between the Ukrainian and Tyson Fury.
