Oleksandr Usyk has rebuffed claims that he didn't want to fight Tyson Fury, offering to fight the Gypsy King in a bare-knuckle bout - and confirming he signed papers for a unification bout.
The pair are set on a collision course for a potential clash together in the ring if they win their upcoming bouts against Dillian Whyte and Anthony Joshua respectively.
However, it wasn't too long ago that a more immediate unification bout was on the cards amid ongoing speculation that Joshua would agree to step-aside with a pay-off.
