Mike Coppinger, a well-known insider, wrote about this on his page on X, formerly known as Twitter. According to him, the promoters are set to hold a historic fight next year, while Fury is actively preparing for his fight against mixed martial arts fighter Francis Ngannou.

Earlier, Fury called Usyk a fraud after his victory over Daniel Dubois (19-2, 29 KOs). The Gypsy King also mocked the Ukrainian, who " rolled around the ring" after being hit in the fifth round of the fight on August 26 and set his own conditions for a fight against Oleksandr.
