Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk reach 'a deal' on new target date

Initial indications were that the fight would take place on December 17 in Saudi Arabia, as they bid to take the limelight in neighboring Qatar, where the World Cup final will take place the following day. However, this date is now in question.

Kriegel added: "Probable date now: February, Super Bowl weekend, or maybe the week after, probably in the Middle East, but not necessarily in Saudi Arabia. Remember that there's also Abu Dhabi, who could be a player, Qatar could be a player, and one more away shot that UK will have."
