Tyson Fury’s US promoter has revealed that negotiations over a potential meeting with Oleksandr Usyk have resumed, with the prospect of the world heavyweight title unification bout taking place in Saudi Arabia as part of a tournament also featuring Anthony Joshua.
Talks between WBC champion Fury and Usyk – who holds the WBA, WBO and IBF titles – broke down in March following a disagreement over how the purse would be split, with the promoter Bob Arum claiming this week Fury is likely to face Zhilei Zhang at Wembley in July following the Chinese fighter’s victory over Joe Joyce last month despite Joyce having activated a rematch clause on Tuesday.
