TYSON FURY and Oleksandr Usyk could finally be set to clash following the Ukrainian’s second win over Anthony Joshua last night.
Usyk showed off his class yet again to win in Saudi Arabia on a split decision.
Taking hold of the microphone following AJ’s bizarre outburst, Usyk declared the only boxer in the world he is willing to fight is Fury.
The Gypsy King was keeping close tabs on last night’s brilliant action.
And he responded by insisting he would happily knock out another Ukrainian, having already dethroned the legendary Wladimir Klitschko.
The world could now be set to finally witness two heavyweight champions fighting to unify the division.
