Tyson Fury insists undisputed fight has to happen in December and Oleksandr Usyk ‘gets sued’ if it doesn’t

Tyson Fury is expecting to fight Oleksandr Usyk in an undisputed world title fight before the end of the year.

The pair have already signed to fight and it is said that the bout will take place either on December 23 or in January early next year.

But, Fury himself believes they are all set for December, as he told : “I'm expecting the fight to take place in December, that's what I've been told, so I've got no reason to disbelieve it.

"Usyk has to fight me in December, doesn't have a choice.

"He's signed a contract so if he doesn't, he's breached contract and he gets sued. He doesn't really have a choice.”

This comes after Usyk recently hinted he wouldn't be ready in time for a fight in December.

Fury said on his : "I can't say that everything's OK, but I'm fine.

"Some wounds, old injuries need to be healed. Everything's under control.

"I do my training sessions everyday, but I need 14 weeks for my camp. It would be enough time for me.

"The first weeks I'm doing my work that helps me to get ready for the training camp. Then I'm working hard for the next 12 weeks."

And there have been suggestions from Anthony Joshua that the fight might take place in April, as he told : "They want to put Usyk-Fury, Joshua-Wilder on the same night. That might not happen until April."

AJ continued: "What we are being told is they want to make it a mega card and they like the sound of Joshua v Wilder on the same card as well."
