Oleksandr Usyk calls on "drunk" Tyson Fury to agree to undisputed fight

Oleksandr Usyk has made a public plea for "drunk" Tyson Fury to accept an undisputed heavyweight title clash.

Usyk recently picked up a rematch victory over Fury's bitter rival Anthony Joshua and immediately called for a fight against Fury who holds the final belt in his undisputed heavyweight title quest. Fury quickly responded by confirming his plans to cut retirement short and negotiate the fight but after extensive rounds of talks, it was confirmed the fight would be put on hold until next year.

A framework has already been put in place to make the fight, but it will now depend on Fury progressing beyond Derek Chisora on December 3 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Usyk elected to take a break to recover following his clash with Joshua back in August, but is now ready to prove he is the best in the division.
