Tyson Fury is now set to miss out on a summer fight as talks continue over a December meeting with Oleksandr Usyk.
The 'Gypsy King' has not fought since comfortably stopping Derek Chisora in a trilogy fight in December, but looked set to face Usyk in April before talks collapsed. It was expected that Fury would then return to the ring this July at Wembley Stadium, with Andy Ruiz Jr and Zhilei Zhang both in the running to share the ring with the WBC champion.
However both heavyweights are now considered to be out of the running with the Ruiz Jr fight off due to financial demands, while Zhang will instead be forced to rematch Joe Joyce. And now Fury's promoter Bob Arum has now claimed that Fury could be out of action until later in the year after options dried up.
