Tyson Fury's promoter expects Oleksandr Usyk fight to take place next year

Frank Warren expects Tyson Fury to fight Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed titles early next year.

The 'Gypsy King' elected to call off his retirement plans after watching Usyk defeat his bitter rival Anthony Joshua for the second time back in August. He called for an undisputed shot at Usyk but after extensive talks between both camps, they were put on hold with the unified champion opting to take a break until next year before returning to the ring.

After holding negotiations with several opponents to try and find a replacement fight for his targeted return date, Fury will now take on rival Derek Chisora at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on December 3. Despite talks currently being on hold for a shot at crowning the first undisputed champion since Lennox Lewis, Fury's promoter Warren believes a fight will take place next year.
