Frank Warren gives Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk update in Anthony Joshua parallel

Frank Warren has admitted that negotiations for Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk could come to an end on Friday if an agreement is not made for the highly anticipated heavyweight bout.

The pair had been expected to make an announcement for a fight this spring, but with their touted April date looming, there appears to be no progress as of yet. The heavyweight title fight would be a huge contest with the pair unifying their respective titles to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 2000.

However, Warren has given fans bad news today as he confirmed on talkSPORT that should the fighters fail to agree on a deal to fight this week then the fight may not take place. The date is set for April 29, with Wembley the likely venue but without the fighters agreeing on the financial side then a deal cannot be made.
