Oleksandr Usyk issues Tyson Fury with final deadline for undisputed fight

Oleksandr Usyk has told Tyson Fury "the clock is ticking" as their undisputed heavyweight title fight is still yet-to-be-announced.

Heavyweight champions Fury and Usyk have been pencilled in to fight on April 29 and despite both parties seemingly agreeing on terms for the bout, an official announcement is yet to be made. Fury recently announced that he is going on a social media blackout to prepare for the contest, but that didn't stop Usyk from issuing a "final deadline" to his British rival on Twitter.

"The points for agreement were sent to Fury’s side. The deadline is set. The clock is ticking. The ball is on Greedybelly’s side now. We did everything in our power to make it happen," Usyk wrote. Fury has insisted that he doesn't need several months of preparation to fight Usyk and will put himself through just six weeks of training for the undisputed title clash.
