Despite Tyson Fury's tough win over Francis Ngannou, Oleksandr Usyk's promoter insists that the undisputed world title fight will go ahead as planned on December 23.
Oleksandr Usyk's promoter has insisted Tyson Fury 'cannot escape' an undisputed world title fight on December 23, despite the latter's punishing points win over Francis Ngannou. Fury escaped an astonishing upset defeat on Saturday when he climbed off the canvas to narrowly, and highly contentiously, edge out Francis Ngannou on a split decision.
He never lost those titles in the ring but they became vacant when he didn't box for more than two years. He made a remarkable return in 2018 and controversially drew with Deontay Wilder that year. Fury beat Wilder in a rematch to win the WBC title and triumphed again in a sensational 2021 trilogy fight. Last year he headlined two stadium fights in London, stopping both Dillian Whyte and Dereck Chisora to defend his title.
