In the world of boxing, there are often instances when you come across boxers who are so good, you would love to see them face off each other. Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are two such boxers in the modern day, who are at the peak of their powers and the WBA has been attempting to bring those two onto one ring. 

However, it seems like the fans might not get to see the both fight each other, atleast for the time being. Talks to make the undisputed heavyweight title fight have failed to reach a conclusion, Usyk’s promoter Alexander Krassyuk confirmed to Sky Sports. Usyk will now look to make a defence of his heavyweight titles against WBA mandatory challenger Daniel Dubois.

“I will try to express how disappointed I am, not just for Usyk, not just for this fight not happening but for all boxing fans around the world. Because this is probably the most anticipated fight, the most awaited fight, the most wanted one, not just from the fans but from our side as well. I would love to see this fight. I would love to make it happen as the promoter. Usyk would love to be part of such a huge fight, we all are willing, we are thirsty to make it happen,” Krassyuk told Sky Sports.

The Fury vs Usyk fight would have been one of the most watched contests in world boxing. Between them they hold all four of the major heavyweight world titles. Fury, who first became a unified world champion when he sensationally defeated Wladimir Klitschko in 2015, never lost those titles in the ring but they became vacant when he did not box for more than two years.

He made a remarkable return in 2018 and controversially drew with Deontay Wilder that year. Fury then beat Wilder in the rematch to win the WBC title and triumphed again in a sensational 2021 trilogy fight. Undefeated he has held the WBC belt ever since and last year Fury headlined two stadium fights in London, stopping both Dillian Whyte and Derek Chisora to defend his title.

Usyk, a former undisputed cruiserweight champion, has established himself as Fury’s closest rival at the top of the heavyweight division. It will be interesting to see if they ever come across together and there is some possibility in it as Fury’s team has mentioned they would love to see this take place.
