Bob Arum has said that a fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk could yet take place this year, despite talks having fallen through last month for a proposed April 29 fight. Arum added that Fury's representatives could also look to resurrect talks around a fight with Anthony Joshua.
The Top Rank promoter, who acts as Fury's representative in the USA has said that, despite negotiations failing to reach a conclusion initially, the Usyk bout is very much still on the table. Usyk had accepted Fury's offer of a 70:30 purse split, but negotiations fell through when the pair could not agree on a rematch clause.
Following the breakdown in talks, the fight was dealt a further blow as the WBA declared that Usyk should face Daniel Dubois next, with the British fighter being mandatory challenger as WBA (Regular) world champion. Arum has explained where the negotiations currently stand, offering hope to fans of the heavyweight duo.
