TYSON FURY said “sausage” Oleksandr Usyk will be SUED if he does not fight him in December.
The pair of unbeaten champions have signed an agreement to meet in the heavyweight division’s first four-belt unification bout.
Promoters had eyed a December 23 Christmas cracker – only for Usyk to insist on a 14-week training camp.
That would push the historic undisputed title decider into the new year – something Fury insisted cannot and will not happen.
He told Sky Sports: “Usyk’s a sausage.
“I expect it to be taking place in December, that’s what I’ve been told, so I’ve got no reason to disbelieve it. Usyk has to fight me in December, doesn’t have a choice.

“He signed the contract, so if he doesn’t, he’s breached contract and he gets sued. So he doesn’t really have a choice.”
Usyk, 36, most recently beat Daniel Dubois after nine rounds of a mandatory defence of his titles in Poland.
Meanwhile Fury, 35, returns this Saturday against ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou in Saturday’s crossover clash.
The title bout with Usyk is set to follow after but the Ukrainian spoke out to reveal his training demands.

He said on his YouTube channel: “I can’t say that everything’s OK, but I’m fine.
“Some wounds, old injuries need to be healed. Everything’s under control.
“I do my training sessions everyday, but I need 14 weeks for my camp. It would be enough time for me.
“The first weeks I’m doing my work that helps me to get ready for the training camp. Then I’m working hard for the next 12 weeks.”
