Talks about Tyson Fury and Oleksandr usyk are back on... with a new target date revealed... even though Daniel Dubois appealed KO loss

Talks for a super-fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk have been reignited, despite the potential for a rematch with Daniel Dubois.

The undefeated champions were unable to finalize a four-belt unification bout earlier this year.

Controversial Win

Oleksandr Usyk's victory over Daniel Dubois was met with controversy.

Tyson Fury could face Usyk in an undisputed clash next year.

However, Usyk, 36, was ordered to defend his WBA mandatory title against Dubois in Poland last weekend.

After two knockdowns, he emerged the winner in the ninth round, although the result was protested by Dubois' camp.

Promoter Frank Warren has revealed plans to appeal the decision, but it is not expected to hinder the forthcoming unification match involving Fury next year.

"That fight, we were talking about doing that fight early next year and that is still the plan," Warren explained.

"The plan was that the winner of the fight on Saturday was to fight Tyson early next year. So that won't go on before then.

"Because of what the bigger picture is, you can't just cast aside Daniel's situation. He was unfairly treated there."

Warren hopes the knockout loss will be overturned and a rematch between Usyk and Dubois can be arranged.

"Although all the belts were on the line in the fight, it was the WBA's turn as far as their mandatory is concerned, so what we'll do, is we'll collate our photographic and video evidence and present it to them and present what was said at the rules meeting determining what were legal and what were illegal blows and they'll have to make a decision.

"I'd like them to declare it a no contest because Daniel should be now having those three belts around his waist, but if we can get it to a rematch then that's where we'll get to.

"I don't blame Alex [Krassyuk – Usyk's promoter] for what he's saying, because they don't want us asking for a rematch, but we're going to.

"Usyk, I've got a lot of respect for him, he was a tremendous cruiserweight and he's been a really good heavyweight, but he does have previous for complaining about low-blows, he done it against Anthony Joshua in their fights."

Dubois' knockdown was controversially ruled as a low blow.

Usyk went on to win in the ninth round.
