NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Oleksandr Usyk is eager to agree an undisputed clash against Tyson Fury before March next year.
After successfully defending his IBF, WBO and WBA heavyweight titles against Anthony Joshua in August, the undefeated Ukrainian insisted he would not rush back into the ring, ending hopes of the Fury fight taking place before the end of the year.
But a shot at the WBC heavyweight title to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis remains his top priority.
Talks are underway between both camps but Usyk insists a fight must take place before 4 March or wait until later in the year.
