The head of the promotion company Top Rank Bob Arum revealed when a unification fight between WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO heavyweight titleholder Oleksandr Usyk and WBC champion Tyson Fury could take place.
A fight between Fury and Usyk is possible. I am in almost daily contact with Egis Klimas, Usyk's manager, as he also handles the affairs of the boxers we support. Klimas said that he is in talks with potential venues for the fight. It could take place in the last week of February or the first week of March. That would suit all of us.

Let's remind, that on August 21, in Jidda (Saudi Arabia) Oleksandr Usyk defeated Anthony Joshua by split decision. Usik had 20 wins (13 KOs) and no defeats under his belt.
Fury last fought Deontay Wilder last October in Las Vegas. That fight was stopped in the 11th round, the british athlete won by TKO. Fury had 31 wins (22 by knockout) and one draw.
