TYSON FURY’S undisputed title fight is being eyed for April 29, according to reports.
The fighters’ representatives have been locked in talks for some time.
The super showdown has been pushed back a few weeks after originally being pencilled in for March.
According to ESPN, April 29 is being targeted by both camps and an agreement could happen soon.
The report also claims Usyk has closed his side of the deal for the fight to take place in Saudi Arabia.
Fury must now do the same to secure the fight, which will see both boxers risk their undefeated records.
It was claimed the fight could take place at Wembley, but that is now considered a back-up option.
Fury admitted he will “go where the money is” and even said he was willing to fight in Derek Chisora’s back garden.
He said: “I’m a prizefighter. I go where the money is.
“If it’s in Saudi Arabia, if it’s in Hong Kong, or if it’s in Derek’s back garden.

“And it becomes obsessive, the old prize fighting game, and that’s why it’s difficult to walk away.”
