FRANK WARREN plans to announce next week a Tyson Fury/Oleksandr Uzyk world heavyweight title unification fight.
WBC champion Fury has been given the mandate to fight Dillian Whyte, but Fury is having a legal dispute with the sanctioning body about his share of the purse.
Tyson Fury could soon be able to have a unification date in fighting Oleksandr Uzyk
Ukrainian Usyk will face Anthony Joshua in a rematch following his shock win last September, when he won the Brit's WBA and IBF belts.
Talks are ongoing about multi-million pound offers to AJ and Whyte for AJ to step aside in order to allow Fury (33) and Usyk (35) to clash in a Middle East unity superfight.
Warren, Fury's copromoter, stated that it was a saga. However, if we can keep our differences between us we can make things work.
"We are still working on it, but I believe that over the weekend we'll make some progress and have something to announce.
"Everybody in boxing wants the undisputed fight between Tyson & Usyk. I want to watch it as a fan. That is the fight that we want to see.
Bob Arum, Warren's US partner, described the effort to ensure Joshua and Whyte get paid and guaranteed shot at the world titles in "total chaos".
The Top Rank legend, at 90, is confident that Wednesday's big fight auction between Fury's and Whyte’s camps will settle the bitter soap opera.
Arum stated that it was a typical, terrible situation. However, it is possible to resolve it with a purse offer.
