Bob Arum has said that a fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk could yet take place this year, despite talks having fallen through last month for a proposed April 29 fight.
Arum added that Fury's representatives could also look to resurrect talks around a fight with Anthony Joshua. The Top Rank promoter, who acts as Fury's representative in the USA has said that, despite negotiations failing to reach a conclusion initially, the Usyk bout is very much still on the table.
Usyk had accepted Fury's offer of a 70:30 purse split, but negotiations fell through when the pair could not agree on a rematch clause.
Following the breakdown in talks, the fight was dealt a further blow as the WBA declared that Usyk should face Daniel Dubois next, with the British fighter being mandatory challenger as WBA (Regular) world champion.
