Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk Will Fight at Wembley on April 29, But Warren Expresses Concerns

Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk is still alive.. for now. In a highly anticipated bout, Tyson Fury will face Oleksandr Usyk in a unification heavyweight fight at Wembley on April 29, as confirmed by promoter Frank Warren. Fury and Usyk have been embroiled in negotiations and online sparring for several months, with both fighters vying to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion in history.

However, the fight was thrown into doubt after negotiations stalled over the purse split, with Usyk reportedly agreeing to a 70/30 split in Fury’s favor. This led to speculation that Usyk would be ordered to fight Daniel Dubois, his mandatory challenger, after the WBA’s 10 pm deadline approached on Friday.

Despite the initial impasse, a deal was reached at the 11th hour, with both fighters agreeing to the purse split. Warren confirmed that the fight would take place on April 29, subject to contract finalization.
