Details emerge of Tyson Fury's complicated deal with Oleksandr Usyk

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are required to secure separate deals for their undisputed clash if it is set in Saudi Arabia.

The duo are set to compete with all the heavyweight belts on the line this spring, with an initial agreement reached for the pair to do battle. The pair came face-to-face at Fury's previous win over Derek Chisora to talk up a showdown, which has already been delayed once from last year as Usyk opted to take a break from the ring.

Details have not been finalised with a venue and date yet to be sealed, despite it being made clear that Saudi Arabia is in the most prominent position to offer a lucrative deal to host the event. In a fresh update on where negotiations have reached, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum has claimed that Usyk's team have already reached a deal with the Middle Eastern country, so it is only left for Fury to be settled on the contract.
