Vusik – Fury: what is known about the fight for the title of absolute world champion
Oleksandr Usyk challenged Tyson Fury to a fight after his rematch victory over Anthony Joshua in August 2022.
The “Gypsy King” was not against fighting Usyk this year, but the Crimean said that he will return to the ring only in 2023. Then Fury began to challenge Joshua, Charr, and Chisor to a duel, but only the latter agreed. Derek entered the ring against Fury on December 3 and was knocked out in the 10th round.
Fury later reassured boxing fans and said he was targeting a fight with Usyk early next year.
Bookmakers chose the British as the favorite for the confrontation. Vusik noted that the fight could take place in March in Saudi Arabia.
