TYSON Fury is to be given a take it or leave it offer “very soon” for the “biggest fight of his career”.
The Gypsy King will be presented with the chance to make a return to the boxing ring in December of this year.
Fury has not fought since the end of 2022, when he beat Derek Chisora via a 10th round TKO in London.
Talks over potential bouts with Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk have since stalled, with Fury taunting both his rivals on social media.
However, a fight with Usyk to crown the undisputed heavyweight world champion could be back on the cards.
That is after the Ukrainian signed with Saudi Arabian organisation Skills Challenge Entertainment.
The organisation previously worked with Usyk for his rematch with Joshua.
They are also behind plans for a one-night event featuring Fury vs Usyk and Joshua vs Deontay Wilder in December.
Usyk’s signing has prompted his promoter Alex Krassyuk to reveal he will make one final offer to Fury.
He told IFL TV: “According to my knowledge [Fury] will receive a formal written offer very soon and it will be Tyson’s decision whether to take it or leave it.

“We’ve done everything possible to make this fight happen and the ball is on Tyson’s side.
“It’s an offer to take it or leave it.
“If you take it then you have the biggest fight of your career. If you hesitate or try to trade out something or try to swing around, it shows that you’re not serious.
“And you have to relinquish the belt and retire, not for one month or one week, as you used to retire recently, but probably forever.”
The news that Fury could still take on Usyk this year will delight boxing fans after months of failed talks over the fight.
Earlier this week there had been suggestions his next fight could be a fourth meeting with Wilder in a mandatory title defence, much to the annoyance of fans.
