WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, and WBA, IBO, IBF, and WBO heavyweight gold holder, Oleksandr Usyk have reportedly reached a verbal agreement on a title fight – which will attempt to determine an undisputed heavyweight champion for the first time in a four belt era.
According to an initial report from Fight Freaks Unite, Fury and Usyk have now reached a verbal agreement on a potential April fight at Wembley Stadium in London, England – in a bid to determine the undisputed heavyweight champion.
Initially a sticking point for the long-awaited heavyweight showdown between the duo was the proposed 70/30 revenue split in favor of Fury – which undefeated Ukraine puncher, Usyk had first taken issue with.
However, according to WBA president, Jesus Mendoza, a breakthrough has been reached between the duo, with handlers for both informing the former how a tentative agreement has been reached, ahead of contract talks.
“It seems Oleksandr Usyk versus Tyson Fury will happen,” Mendoza said. “There is an agreement between Usyk and Fury. They will provide a contract and dates. They are basically saying an agreement has been reached, let’s work on the contracts.” (Transcribed by MMA Junkie)
Tyson Fury most recently competed in December of last year
Boasting an undefeated 33-0-1 professional record, Morecambe native, Tyson Fury managed to most recently secure a third career win over veteran, Derek Chisora with a tenth round TKO win back in December of last year at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, retaining his WBC heavyweight crown.
As for Usyk, the undefeated former cruiserweight has landed an impressive 20-0 professional record, twice defeating British heavyweight standout, Anthony Joshua in a title victory and immediate defense in his last two ring walks – the most recent of which came in August of last year in Saudi Arabia.
First winning the heavyweight titles currently held by Usyk back in November 2015, Fury travelled to Dusseldorf, Germany – defeating Russian veteran, Wladimir Klitschko.

Tyson Fury is very eager to see Francis Ngannou knock out Deontay Wilder. When asked about the potential matchup, Fury responded very eloquently. ‘The Gypsy King’ didn’t hesitate to call Wilder a “piece of sh*t” and state vehemently that he’d like to see Ngannou shut his lights out.
Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou is now a free agent, and rumors have been rampant that his first post-UFC fight may be against boxing superstar Deontay Wilder. Wilder has said that talks have been going on with Ngannou’s team to secure a fight, and after some more negotiating, we may see Ngannou vs. Wilder come to fruition.
When asked about this matchup, Tyson Fury didn’t hesitate for a second to delve into the interworkings of it. While he did say it probably wouldn’t happen, what ‘The Gypsy King’ would love to see is a Ngannou knockout of Wilder.
Tyson Fury speaks on Ngannou vs. Wilder matchup, hopes to see ‘Piece of sh*t’ Wilder knocked out
“He’s (Ngannou is) big enough to knock anybody out, but I don’t think he does because I think Wilder knocks him out first,” Tyson Fury began, speaking to Fight Hub.
“Wilder is the type of guy who’s like a piece of s**t kinda guy, so I’d like to see Ngannou chin him, knock his spark out. But I don’t think he would.”
When asked about the animosity towards Deontay Wilder, Fury just shrugged and said: “I don’t think I gave him a good enough beating in that third fight… That was a beating for the ages, I gave him some rattling punches. But, he obviously didn’t take enough punishment. So, don’t rule out a fourth fight.”
Obviously, not all is well and good between the two boxing phenoms that is Wilder and Fury. The presence of beef is still very strong and it appears Fury has a bone to pick with the american powerhouse that is Wilder.
Would you like to see a fourth fight between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury?

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has all the confidence in the world that Tommy Fury stops Jake Paul in Saudi Arabia
Tyson Fury believes his brother will put Paul away with ease when the two meet in the ring on Sunday evening for their eight-round encounter, as he recently stated the following in his interview with Fight Hub TV:
“Looking good, he’s feeling good, and he’s going to knock him out.
“Tommy knocks out 90 percent of the people that he messes with. He drops them, knocks them out. That’s 90 percent. So Jake Paul is no different. He’ll get it, as well.
Conor McGregor made everybody think that he was going to beat Floyd (Mayweather), but in reality was never going to it. People are easy to convince, I suppose.”
Tommy Fury comes into the contest with a perfect professional boxing record of 8-0, while Paul comes in at 6-0, both men boasting four knockouts in those wins.
Paul went 1-0 as an amateur as well, also securing a knockout victory in that bout. And, while Fury’s amateur record isn’t anywhere to be found, we know that he did have 12 amateur fights. He won northern regional championships twice, and he was a finalist in the national championships.
Being a finalist but not a champion means he definitely lost once, but also won most of his bouts considering he won some titles. So, there’s reason to believe he went 10-2, or maybe even 11-1 as an amateur.
Regardless, he’s quite a bit more experienced than Paul, who will be facing the first actual boxer of his career come Saturday.
