Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk: Pair set for monster December fight

Tyson Fury is set to come out of retirement… SHOCK! To take on Oleksandr Usyk in an undisputed heavyweight division bout in Saudi Arabia this year in a fight for the ages, both sporting wise and financially.

The Gypsy King’s team are in talks to secure a fight worth more than £85 million which was how much Usyk’s first defence was worth this past weekend.

He defeated Anthony Joshua on points once again to defend his titles after dethroning the Brit in their first fight last year.

Usyk now holds the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, IBO and Ring Magazine belts with Fury holding the WBC after he didn’t vacate it despite announcing his retirement.

It has been 20 years since we have seen an undisputed heavyweight champion, with us having just a few more months to wait as it seems.

The fight, as per the Daily Mail, has been pencilled in for December 17th, again in Saudi Arabia, giving the Middle East a couple of months of sporting importance with the Formula One season concluding in November in Abu Dhabi, whilst the World Cup final will take place the day following the fight on the 18th.

After Usyk and AJ battled it out in Jeddah, the Saudi minister for sport is aiming for the fight to be in Riyadh, stating: “We are very interested in the fight for the undisputed heavyweight title. We are looking to do that in the city of Riyadh.”

Fury has till Friday to confirm his plans to continue or he will be forced to vacate his WBC title, although that seems a non-issue now, with the Gypsy King on his way back.

After his victory, Usyk demanded the fight, saying he wasn’t going to step foot in the ring again unless it was with Fury.

In comparison, Fury reacted to the victory by claiming he could take both Joshua and Usyk in the same night and
