2023 is knocking on the door, and the whole boxing world is more excited than ever to welcome the new year with some of the most anticipated fights ever. One such is, Tyson Fury Vs. Oleksandr Usyk. But from the recent reports of the popular boxing media house, boxingscene.com, it seems that the fight is in trouble again. According to boxingscene.com, Usyk’s promoter, Krassyuk, has given the deadline of the fight on the 4th of March and also stated that if for any reason the bout gets stalled and does not happen on the prescribed date, probably the fight is not ever going to happen. Also, the promoters are in talks with three middle eastern countries to select the venue and finalize the bout. 

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk both are at the top stage of their career now, and fans are already very curious to watch the two heavyweight champions face off inside the ring. But is that going to ever happen?

It was the talk of the town for a long time, to see the fight between the two of the best heavyweight champions. On one side, Fury aka ‘Gypsy King’ stands with his impressive stat of 33-0-1 and on the other side, Usyk holds all the major titles including WBA (super), IBF, and WBO. Undoubtedly, it is going to be one of the best fights out there.

The much-rumored fight is expected to happen in any of the three countries of the Middle East on 4th March 2023. According to Usyk’s promoter, Alexander Krassyuk, they are in talks with three Middle Eastern countries for the fight. If something really bad happens or if the deal with any of the countries does not get finalized, then Wembley Arena or Principality stadium is the last choice to stage the fight.

“We have a basic option to make it happen at Wembley or Cardiff or any other place in the UK,” Krassyuk of K2 promotion has said. He also added, “So the worst scenario, is it goes to Wembley or any other big stadium (in the UK). Any other scenario is that it takes place in the Middle East. The deadline (for the fight to take place) we agree, together, is the 4th of March.”

The deadline for the mega fight is March 4th

Krassyuk has told the media if any of the parties fail to go in the bout on 4th March, then there is no possibility of making it happen again. That created anxiety among the fans. But the great thing is, both the parties, Usyk and Fury’s promoters, have agreed to the fight on the exact date, and nothing is going to stop the fighters from entering the ring.

Krassyuk said, “Tyson has already given his consent already. Queensberry, Top Rank, all are in. Usyk team, K2 Promotions, and Usyk himself, we are on our way. Nothing is to spoil this fight from happening.”  Queensberry is Fury’s porter from the UK and K2 is Usyk’s promoter.

As of now, both parties are on board to make the fight, and if everything goes according to the plan, then the world may see one of the best bout ever. We are hoping for the fight to happen. Who will win according to you if it happens, let us know in the comment?
