Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk close to agreeing undisputed world title fight

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are edging closer to agreeing terms for an undisputed world heavyweight title fight, according to promoter Frank Warren.

The two world heavyweight champions came head-to-head earlier this month at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium when Usyk came to ringside for a face-off with Fury. And Warren now says that they are at the stage of sending contracts for the first undisputed fight at heavyweight in over 20 years, in which the first man to hold four major belts in the division will be crowned.

Usyk is the unified WBA super, WBO and IBF champion, while Fury holds the WBC belt after giving up the others following his win over Wladimir Klitschko in 2015. The Ukrainian also has the less sought-after IBO title, as well as The Ring Magazine belt which Fury also voluntarily surrendered earlier this year.
