SPORT fans are set for a festive treat this December with a bumper schedule of incredible events in the works.
SunSport reported today that Tyson Fury could come out of retirement to fight Oleksandr Usyk in a huge heavyweight unification bout on December 17.
The “retired” Gypsy King wants to return in a £125million showdown with Anthony Joshua’s conqueror Usyk.
Fury and Usyk could throw down in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – meaning a likely prime time slot for UK fans.
On Saturday night the Gypsy King, 34, declared: “England has been relieved of its belts but there is a remedy.
“If you want those belts back then send in the Gypsy barbarian.”
