Fury – Usyk rescheduled for May 18 in Saudi Arabia
The undisputed heavyweight title fight between Britain’s Tyson Fury and Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk have been rescheduled for May 18.
Fury (34-0-1) was supposed to fight with Usyk (21-0) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on February.
But fight had to be rescheduled, because of cut that Fury sustained during sparring session. Fury holds WBC title and Usyk have WBA, WBO and IBF titles.
Usyk wished Fury a speedy recovery and said he was “ready to fight for undisputed any time, anywhere”. The Ukrainian had been in talks to fight Croatia’s Filip Hrgovic as a replacement for Fury on the February date.
