British boxer Tyson Fury said he was ready to fight it out against Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight boxing world title, next May 18 at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The duel between Fury, who is the WBC world heavyweight champion, and the Ukrainian boxer was originally scheduled for February 17, but had to be postponed because Fury suffered an injury above his right eye.
However, Fury, who has a record of 34 wins in 35 fights with 24 knockouts, stated that the injury above his eye had healed.
“Healing is good. I’m not worried,” said Fury as reported by AFP, Wednesday (6/3).
