"Because of the prolonged inactivity of the Heavyweight Division due to the pandemic and ongoing legal processes, as well as Covid-19 infections, WBC has ruled the winner will have 30 days to obtain a contract to unify it against Oleksandr Usyk, WBO-IBF/WBA champion, in order to find an undisputed champion of the division.
"If a unification bout cannot be secured within the time limit, Fury vs Wilder3 must fight next against the WBC Interim Heavyweight Champion."
