Ukrainian Promoter Confirms February 2024 Date

The long-awaited clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk has finally been given a new date. Originally scheduled for December 23, the fight was postponed following Fury's controversial win over Francis Ngannou. However, Usyk's promoter, Alex Krassyuk, has now confirmed that the heavyweight showdown will take place in February 2024. The full date will be announced next week, according to Krassyuk.

Usyk's Confidence and Flexibility

Krassyuk expressed confidence in Usyk's readiness for the fight, stating that the Ukrainian fighter knows how to deal with Fury. He emphasized the importance of making the fight happen and assured that they will remain flexible to ensure it takes place. While the original contract specified December 23, Krassyuk believes it's a matter of common sense to reschedule when a fighter isn't fully prepared.

Fury's Deserving Win, According to Krassyuk

Krassyuk acknowledged Fury's deserving win against Ngannou and defended the Brit against Usyk's belief that he was not serious in the fight. From a boxing perspective, Krassyuk stated that Fury won the fight, with a couple of rounds ahead on his scorecard. He also mentioned the emotional impact of an underdog MMA fighter unexpectedly captivating the world. However, Krassyuk assured that when Fury faces Usyk, he will be at his best.
