Tyson Fury Vs. Oleksandr Usyk: Fight details revealed

‘The Gypsy King’ and ‘The Cat’ have been eager to fight each other for a long time. Mike Coppinger, an ESPN Boxing insider, posted a tweet revealing details about the potential fight between both.

He claimed that both sides are eyeing a fight in Saudi Arabia on April 29. Usyk has already signed the deal to fight in Saudi, but Fury is reportedly yet to sign a deal.

If Fury doesn’t sign the deal to fight in Saudi on time, the fight could be headed to Wembley.

“I’m a prizefighter. I go where the money is. If it’s in Saudi Arabia, if it’s in Hong Kong, or if it’s in Derek’s back garden. I go for the money. That’s what I do. I go in, get my brains beat out of me for a few quid.” said Fury in an interview with Talksport.
