Oleksandr Usyk has been ordered to face Daniel Dubois after the collapse of his clash with Tyson Fury.
Usyk was in negotiations to face Fury for the undisputed heavyweight titles with the fight set to take place on April 29 at Wembley Stadium. It was agreed Dubois would step aside after the WBA handed a deadline for the showdown to be agreed before they would take action.
However talks quickly collapsed after Usyk elected to walk away from the negotiating table following public demands from Fury on social media, including a 70/30 purse split and a dropping of the rematch clause. Now Usyk looks set to take on Dubois with a negotiating period now activated to arrange the meeting.
