Tyson Fury begins social media blackout as he confirms Oleksandr Usyk fight

Tyson Fury has announced his trademark social media blackout as he enters training camp for his clash with Oleksandr Usyk.

The 'Gypsy King' has been in negotiations to face unified world champion Usyk in an undisputed clash for several months, with talks hitting several snags along the way. Both Usyk and Fury came face-to-face after the Briton's win over Derek Chisora in December, with the fight looking like it may finally take place.

Several disagreements threatened to stall the bout this week, with the pair initially forced to publicly agree to a 70/30 split in Fury's favour, before he further demanded there be no rematch clause. Despite it remaining unclear exactly what terms have been put in place, Fury appears to have now announced that the fight will indeed take place.
