      When is Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk? Date, TV channel, everything we know so far about massive undisputed title fight

      by

      TYSON FURY and Oleksandr Usyk finally look set to fight for the undisputed heavyweight titles – and a date has now been pencilled in. Usyk defeated Anthony Joshua for the second time last year to retain his WBA, WBO and IBF titles, picking up the Ring Magazine belt in the process.

      Fury is the WBC champ and is coming off four huge consecutive stoppage wins himself.
      The Gypsy King beat Deontay Wilder via TKO in 2020 to claim the title, before knocking him out in their trilogy clash last year.
      Fury then overcame Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium, stopping him in the sixth round, and he beat Derek Chisora in December.
      With no mandatory challengers due, and all the belts in the hands of just two fighters, the undisputed clash looks finally set to happen.

      When is Fury vs Usyk going to take place?
      A date has yet to be confirmed for Fury’s potential undisputed clash with Usyk.
      But according to Frank Warren, all parties are working towards an April 29 clash.
      And the venue could be Saudi Arabia once again, with Riyadh being targeted, but Wembley Stadium is also still in play.
      “The fight will take place 100 per cent the last Saturday in April,” Warren said.
      “Where it takes place I genuinely think will be determined within the next six or seven days maximum.
      “If we can’t do what we’re being asked to do with Tyson and Usyk [in Saudi Arabia], then the fight will take place in the UK.”
      What TV channel will it be on?
      Fury vs Usyk has yet to be confirmed, but a TV channel will be announced once the fight is signed.
      It’s extremely likely we’ll see the fight on BT Sport Box Office, where Fury’s last seven fights have been shown.
      Queensberry Promotions and Top Rank are set to promote the mega-event.

      Usyk has also said: “Fury, you talk about greatness in boxing.
      “But, at the same time, you say, ‘Give me a lot of money’.
      “Greatness in boxing is not determined by money. Greatness comes from a victorious path.

      Hailing from Oswaldtwistle in Lancashire, stunning redhead Natalie will also be expected to be involved when Jake Paul and Tommy Fury finally settle their beef in February.

      She has previously spoken about bullying she had to overcome in her younger years.
      Following her Miss Swimsuit victory, Natalie said: “I’ve dropped out of so many things in the past because of confidence issues so I just went for it with this and it paid off.
      “When they announced the winner – I literally can’t even explain the feeling. I was so nervous and I wasn’t expecting to win, it’s one thing to take part but to actually win. I was so speechless. It was magical, I am so thankful.”

      The pair have been on a collision course for months as the fight was originally scheduled to take place in October.
      But an injury to Beterbiev set the fight back until the end of January.
      Yarde has fought for a world title before, losing by knockout to Sergey Kovalev back in 2019.
      But he had some BIG chances to put away his Russian opponent, but seemed to lack the experience to take the opportunity.
      The London man then fought twice with Lyndon Arthur, losing the first on points before winning the second via knockout.
      Beterbiev is 18-0 as a professional and has won every single one of his fights by knockout.
      It’s no surprise he is avoided by most – so Yarde already deserves some plaudits for taking on the beast

      What has been said?
      “Since I’ve started boxing I’ve not had more than one week out of the gym,” Yarde said.
      “Beterbiev had more than 200 amateur fights and 18 professional, but I’m going to be sharp and focused.
      “In the light-heavyweight division, he has been nothing but a wrecking ball, knocking out every opponent so far.
      “He’s very powerful but I feel I’m faster and, by age, I’m fresher, but in experience, I’m behind him.”

      What we DO know is this is a real battle of the bangers.
      There is no doubt Yarde could hurt Beterbiev – but the Russian-born-Canadian-living beast just seems a different breed.
