Tyson Fury in talks with new rival for Australia fight before Oleksandr Usyk bow

Tyson Fury is in talks to face Demsey McKean in Australia this summer, according to his rival's manager.

The 'Gypsy King' looked set to meet Oleksandr Usyk this April but the fight was shelved after both heavyweights were left unable to agree terms after making separate demands. It looked set that the WBC champion could enter the ring this summer against either Andy Ruiz Jr or Zhilei Zhang, but both opponents now appear to be off the table leaving the prospect of no activity until December.

Fury's promoter Bob Arum then suggested that he may now wait until later in the year, as talks reopened over a clash between himself and Oleksandr Usyk's team for a Saudi Arabia clash. However in a fresh development, Australian fighter McKean is now in the running for a potential date in August according to his manager Angelo Di Carlo.
