Fury vs Usyk fight gets new date

Tyson Fury’s long-overdue showdown with Oleksandr Usyk has been delayed yet again, it’s been claimed.

The pair’s highly anticipated undisputed heavyweight title bout was scheduled for December 23 in Saudi Arabia until Fury was humiliated by boxing rookie Francis Ngannou.

Fury eeked out a narrow decision victory over the former UFC star but immediately poured cold water on the prospect of jumping straight back into camp for the December dust-up.

Team Usyk insisted it was December or bust for the battle of heavyweight supremacy, which Saudi boxing chiefs have splashed out £200 million for.
