Tyson Fury set to receive mega-money offer to finally fight Oleksandr Usyk

Tyson Fury will be sent a "premium offer" by Saudi Arabian promotion Skills Challenge in a bid to finally secure his fight with Oleksandr Usyk.

Heavyweight champions Fury and Usyk have been linked to a fight at the end of the year in a historic event which could also feature Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder. Their undisputed title fight was supposed to happen at the end of April, the two parties failed to agree on a rematch clause despite Usyk accepting a 70/30 purse split in Fury's favour.

Fury's promoter Frank Warren has insisted they are yet to receive a contract from the Middle East for the undisputed fight and Skills Challenge's Amer Abdallah has responded by insisting an offer is coming their way. "The premium offer will be coming soon, it will be based on the market value and demand of the fight. Tyson is frustrated, he wants to fight. If he can land something in September or October and then clear himself for December, we would love to make that offer," he told talkSPORT.
