Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk sign contracts for undisputed world heavyweight title fight

The winner of the bout between Fury and Usyk will see the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the four-belt era.

Fury is undefeated in 34 bouts since he turned professional in 2008, while Usyk has won all 21 of his fights.

“Delighted to finally get this fight signed,” said Queensbury promoter, Frank Warren, said. “This is the biggest fight that could possibly be made in our sport.

“The heavyweights always spark the imagination of the fans, and I have no doubt this will be the biggest boxing event of the century.

“I can’t believe that it’s happening but it is,” said Usyk’s promoter Alexander Krassyuk. “Difficult to express my admiration for being part of the biggest heavyweight fight of the century. Respect to Tyson for his courage.”
