Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk undisputed fight put in doubt by new ruling

Tyson Fury's undisputed fight with Oleksandr Usyk could be in jeopardy after the Ukrainian was ordered to face Daniel Dubois.

Fury recently defended his WBC title with a KO over voluntary challenger Derek Chisora to set up a clash with Usyk who was ringside to watch the bout. Both teams have insisted talks to stage the fight are nearing completion, with just a venue to select before the fight is announced.
