Oleksandr Usyk’s manager has stated that Tyson is set to receive a “take it or leave it” offer over an undisputed fight.
The Ukrainian was unable to finalise an agreement with Fury earlier this year, leading negotiations to be ditched in March. Usyk is now set to face WBA mandatory challenger Daniel Dubois, which is expected to be held in Poland in August, while Fury is still searching for his next opponent.
A heavyweight double-header in the Middle East between Usyk and Fury, plus Anthony Joshua and Deonatay Wilder, has been tipped for the end of the year. Usyk has fuelled suggestions that negotiations are heading in the right direction by signing with Saudi Arabian promotion company Skills Challenge Entertainment. However, his manager has warned that it will be make or break for Fury, not just for the fight with Usyk but his career.
