Hype is already building around a potential heavyweight blockbuster unification bout between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk after the latter defeated Anthony Joshua this past weekend.
The Daily Mail revealed earlier today that that talks are already underway to see the Gypsy King return to action after Usyk defeated Anthony Joshua, winning in convincing fashion to reclaim the WBA, IBF and WBO whilst also taking the vacant Ring Magazine title, given up by Fury.
It comes after Fury has once again reversed his decision to call time on his boxing career to challenge Usyk. Now, the Mail has reported that a fight date has been 'pencilled in' for December 17 in Saudi Arabia - the night before the World Cup final in Qatar.

After the fight, Usyk also claimed that he would only fight Fury, or could also walk away from the sport. Saudi Arabia is already being earmarked for a fight between the two, with December 17 being 'pencilled in'.
Prince Mohammad Abdulaziz, the Saudi minister for sport, confirmed: "We are very interested in the fight for the undisputed heavyweight title. We are looking to do that in the city of Riyadh."
