As replacement fighter has been named, we are in doubt if this fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will finally take place or not
Oleksandr Usyk’s promoter has revealed his fears that Tyson Fury might withdraw from fighting his guy in this undisputed bout.
Barely less than a month to this most anticipated clash between Fury and Usyk in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Usyk promoter, Alexander Krassyuk, has expressed his doubt that the Gypsy King might shy away from the fight as he has done in three consecutive times in the past.
This fight supposed to take place in February but was postponed to May 18 due to a cut suffered by Fury during his preparatory trainings.
Quoting Alexander Krassyuk, “We showed up to the Ngannou fight to step in the ring to announce the fight for the undisputed, but his team jumped and said he didn’t look that good, so Usyk gave him some space to prepare at his camp in Saudi Arabia.

“Tyson Fury has withdrawn four times already from this fight.
“Remember that we were looking to fight last April; he pulled out of it then, too.
“That’s why we fought Daniel Dubois. This will be the fourth camp we have had for Tyson Fury.
“I’ve not got too much confidence in the rematch happening, by the way. If Tyson Fury loses, will he have the confidence to step inside the ring again?
“Theoretically he can, but we all know what happened in the rematch with Wladimir Klitschko.”
If Fury fails to turn up again, then Team Usyk have a replacement opponent lined up to take his place. And he is Filip Hrgovic.
