Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will almost certainly not be competing for the undisputed heavyweight world championship in the UK, Frank Warren has explained.
Fury and Usyk are likely to make world record purses for their bout, and it would be difficult to make that happen at any UK venue due to the major site fees offered by other countries. If they wanted to get close, Warren said during an appearance on TalkSPORT yesterday, they would need to use Wembley Stadium in London with a 94,000 capacity.
But the teams are eyeing up a fight date as early as December 17, to coincide with the World Cup final, which could potentially feature England this year. Saudi Arabia would be the likely host country, just a seven-hour drive from Lusail City in Qatar where the final would be played the following day.
