Tyson Fury says Oleksandr Usyk doesn't want undisputed fight this year and that he will announce a fight next week

By Daily Sports Nigeria on September 4, 2022

WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has said Oleksandr Usyk doesn't want to fight him this year, adding he is "not going to wait around" and will announce a fight next week.

It had been hoped that an undisputed heavyweight world championship clash between the pair could be arranged for this year, with Fury having set a September 1 deadline for the fight to be made.

When that day came and passed, Fury took to Twitter a day later and said the WBO, WBA and IBF champion was "running, hiding", mockingly labelling him a "middleweight".

On Saturday, when involved in the main event at WWE's 'Clash at the Castle' in Cardiff, Fury said: "Usyk was calling me out after his last fight with [Anthony] Joshua, I've replied and said let's do the fight this year, wherever they want to do it.

"I've been waiting for offers from countries to come forward, and all of a sudden Usyk has stated he doesn't want to fight any more, he wants to fight next year, not this year.

"So I'm not going to wait around for anybody, I'm announcing a fight next week."

In attendance at the Principality Stadium for the WWE's first UK stadium show since 1992, Fury got involved in the headline clash between Undisputed Universal Champion Roman Reigns and Scottish star Drew McIntyre.
