Fury and Usyk Set to Unify Heavyweight Division
The boxing world is abuzz with excitement as Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk have announced that they have signed for the heavyweight division’s first-ever four-belt unification. Although a date has not been confirmed, December 23 in Saudi Arabia is rumored to be the front-runner.
Joshua's Boxing Return in the Works
In a surprising twist, Eddie Hearn, Anthony Joshua's promoter, has revealed that Joshua's comeback fight could take place on the same night as Fury's bout. Hearn is planning to stage the grudge match between Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr. on December 23, and Joshua's fight might be added to the card.
Potential Clash of Cards
Hearn has been in talks with Deontay Wilder's manager, Shelly Finkel, about a blockbuster fight between Wilder and Joshua. However, Saudi backers have pulled out, leading to negotiations with new potential hosts. As a result, Hearn warned that Joshua's mega-fight with Wilder could be postponed to February or March. In the meantime, Joshua may opt to stay busy with a return fight in December on the same card as Benn and Eubank Jr.
Uncertainty Surrounds Fight Dates
There is uncertainty surrounding the fight dates, as Fury is scheduled to fight ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou on October 28 in Riyadh. Just eight weeks later, Fury is set to face Usyk for the unification bout. Hearn is unsure whether these two fights will go head to head on the same night.
Clash Avoidance
Hearn expressed that he does not want the fights to clash, as it would not make sense for either bout. However, if the Eubank vs. Benn fight is confirmed, Hearn plans to go ahead with the December 23 date. The announcement for that fight is expected in the next two weeks, so the official fight schedule will become clearer soon.
