Tyson Fury’s promoter: “The fight with Alexander Usik will take place on March 2”

organizer Frank WarrenHe said his client, who represents the interests of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, would be ready to fight Ukrainian Alexander Usik on March 2, 2024.

“It’s not just the damage that Tyson took in the last fight, it’s also the fact that he’s in camp for 12 weeks and has a baby. It was a tough fight so he needs to go home and take a few weeks off. And then we have six weeks to train,” Ngannou said. If the fight against Usyk was easy, December 23 would be a very reliable date, but when Tyson said he was still ready to fight Usyk, I objected.

The fight will take place on March 2 and will be for the title of absolute champion. The IBF has already accepted this. Everyone has agreed and it will be announced soon,” Warren said.

We would like to remind you that earlier the organizer Alexander Krasyuk, representing the interests of the Ukrainian champion Alexander Usik, talked about the possible postponement of the fight with Tyson Fury.
