Tyson Fury confirms Oleksandr Usyk fight date as he begins training camp

Tyson Fury has insisted he only needs six weeks to prepare for Oleksandr Usyk after the heavyweight rivals agreed terms for their undisputed heavyweight world title fight.

Fury and Usyk are set to clash at Wembley on April 29 after reaching a verbal agreement last night. The winner will be crowned the first undisputed champion in the division since Lennox Lewis in 1999.

The agreement was reached at the 11th hour after Fury looked to have blown his chances of a deal by demanding the lion's share of the purse. But Usyk later agreed to take just 30 per cent - as long as Fury donates £1million to his rivals' war-torn homeland Ukraine.
