World heavyweight champion according to WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO Alexander Usik said that the date of the fight for the title of absolute world champion against WBC belt holder Tyson Fury should be determined next week.
The Ukrainian responded quite favorably to the prospect of a fight with the Briton in February 2024.
Journalist Michael Benson reported this on his page on the social network X, citing Reuters.

“It could be February, and I would really like it to be February.” “I was ready for December 23, but since Fury was injured and knocked down, his (fight – Ed. ) will be postponed to next year,” Usyk said.
The Usyk-Fury fight was scheduled for December 23, but due to the fact that the Briton received a cut in the fight with Francis Ngannou, and also because he will need more time to recover, the fight was postponed.
Recently, the British promoter Frank Warren stated that the fight would take place before March 2. Warren said the exact fight date will be announced “pretty soon.”
At stake in the Usyk-Fury fight will be four championship belts and the title of absolute world champion. The parties' contract stipulates a rematch.
