Tyson Fury Vs Oleksandr Usyk Will No Longer Happen On The 23rd Of December – Frank Warren

Popular boxer, Tyson Fury’s £150million undisputed fight with Oleksandr Usyk is officially cancelled.

Reports have said that the December 23 clash could be delayed until as late as February after his showdown with former UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou.

Fury was dropped in the third round by a professional boxing debutant, but was eventually crowned the winner following a split decision.

Reacting, boxing promoter, Frank Warren revealed that it is too soon to talk about Fury’s next fight at the moment, and even if the fight will eventually happen, it won’t be on the 23rd anymore.

Warren added that Ngannou was much better than people expected him to be, and it is clear that the man can box.

His words, “It is too soon to talk about what Tyson does right now but the Usyk fight is signed.

It will go ahead but it will not be on the 23rd. It was crazy for some people to suggest that it could still go ahead on the 23rd.

He is 35 years old and has just done a 12-week training camp and has just been in a tough fight.

He needs a break with his family, he needs to switch off and we will announce the date when we are ready. But the fight is signed. The fight will happen.

It will happen early in the new year, late January or February. It will be up to Tyson, it is his body.

He wasn’t smashed to bits at all but he needs a break.

Ngannou was much better than people expected him to be. He can box.

As soon as he shaped up I thought ‘f***ing hell this kid can box’.

People were talking like Ngannou was some sort of nerd, f***ing computer nerd, fighting in a joke fight.

But he is a proper fighter whose background is coming from Africa, a tough b******d through and through.

I didn’t think he would be able to adapt to highest-level boxing at 37 but I got that wrong because he f***ing did, didn’t he.”
