Fury-Usyk clash confirmed for December 21 in Saudi Arabia

The IBF/WBA/WBO champion Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) made it clear that he and WBC champ Fury need this fight because it’s been 30 years since the titles have been held by one person.

However, at this point, it’s still up in the air if the Usyk-Fury fight will get made because the perception is Fury could negotiate himself out of the match as he did with Anthony Joshua last year.

There’s talk that Fury blew the deal to have the Usyk fight staged in Saudi Arabia by asking for too much money from the Saudis, leaving the two fighters having to go to the UK and potentially making less.

Usyk is totally unafraid of Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) and doesn’t seem worried about giving away so much size to the big 6’9″ British fighter.
