Tyson Fury reveals the potential date for Oleksandr Usyk heavyweight showdown

Tyson Fury uploaded a video to Instagram revealing the targeted date to fight Oleksandr Usyk as negotiations are ongoing.

The 34-year-old also highlighted other conditions ahead of the potential unification bout being lined up for 2023.

The WBC heavyweight champion doesn't want a rematch clause to be included in the contract, as it would 'up the ante.'

"I've been speaking to the lawyers today, and Usyk's people are talking about rematch clauses and all that b*******," Fury said on Instagram.

"Here's one to up the ante, how about there is no f****** rematch clause for both of us. Let's up the antes completely. Never worry about what's in the future and how many more dollars you can get after you've been defeated.

"Worry about the fight, April 29th, no rematch clause. The winner takes the glory."
