Tyson Fury lines up alternative opponent if Oleksandr Usyk deal falls through

Tyson Fury has accepted a call-out from old rival Mahmoud Charr - if the heavyweight champion can't agree a deal with Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury announced earlier this year that he was hanging up his gloves after defeating Dillian Whyte in his latest title defence at Wembley Stadium. However, he has almost instantly backtracked on that idea and has declared his intent to unify the division against Oleksandr Usyk as early as this December.

Fury has also been looking into the possibility of fighting Derek Chisora, although his former pal turned down a £2million offer to face the world champion in a bout at the Principality Stadium this year. And now, it appears that Fury is looking into the possibility of facing Charr after conditionally accepting his unexpected social media call-out.
