Fight between WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) and the owner of the WBA, WBO and IBF belts Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) may take place on April 29 at Wembley Stadium.
Saudi Arabia is reportedly unable to confirm that construction of their new stadium in Jeddah can be completed in time.
Boxing teams are aware that a chance to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis could be lost if the fight, originally scheduled for February, is postponed. The official announcement of the fight is planned for this week, Wembley has already been booked by Fury’s promoters.
If an agreement with Usyk is not reached, Fury will most likely fight there on April 29 against the designated challenger. In this case, Usyk will also fight someone else.
Previously, insiders reported that the fight is expected to take place in England.
