TYSON FURY still has two days to reach an agreement to fight Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight title.
Since November last year, talks about a blockbuster unification bout have been ongoing between the two parties. However, no significant progress has been made.
Tyson Fury has been in talks to fight Oleksandr Usyk
.
The fight is currently dependent on Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte agreeing to step-aside payments for their fights with Usyk or Fury in the next 48 hours.
SunSport reports that Joshua, the former unified heavyweight champion, is considering a PS15million offer to give up his fight with Usyk.
WBC mandatory challenger Whyte is willing to take PS5m to avoid Fury's clash, but he still wants written guarantees that he will be granted a title shot.
According to The Daily Star Usyk vs Fury is dead if there isn't an agreement and no step-aside agreements are made by Wednesday.
This failure would open the door for Fury's long-awaited showdown against Whyte, her former training partner.
Whyte's refusal in Fury's favor to accept an 80-20 split has caused the clash to be delayed.

Fury and Whyte will settle their differences on March 26, if an agreement is reached.
Fury encouraged Joshua and Whyte to make their next moves on Tuesday morning.
In a tweet, he said: "Tick tick tick f'ing tick tick tock is today's subject.
"Is Dillian Whyte going against me?" Is Anthony Joshua going away? Please let me know, I'm sick and tired of seeing these bums.
"Stop listening to their excuses.
"Tick tick tock, the time is up, you're all getting some good hiding, cowards!"
Fury demanded that Joshua comply with Fury's demands, just a day after Joshua denied reports that he was preparing to withdraw from the rematch against Usyk.
He stated that he saw certain interviews in which he said the same thing and thought to himself, "I haven’t done any interviews."
"Where did this person obtain this information? People are saying that AJ will accept PS15m for them to step aside.
"I haven’t signed a contract, and I haven’t seen a document. As it stands now, you should stop listening to it until it comes from you.
"I am the man who controls my destiny. I manage my business. I'm smart and make calculated decisions every step of my way.
"Don't listen too much to other sources... If I tell you something, then you will know that it's true."
