From Monte Carlo to the Ring: Chisora Queries, Krassyuk Answers on Usyk-Fury Saga

In a candid interview at a Monte Carlo boxing event, Oleksandr Krassyuk and Dereck Chisora engage in a revealing talk about the Usyk-Fury matchup:

Chisora: "Is the Usyk-Fury showdown still on for December 23?"

Krassyuk: "Sadly, brother, your countryman Fury isn't up for a December duel."

Chisora: "What's the hitch? Is he under the weather?"

Krassyuk: "It's murky. He claims he's game, yet his promoter begs to differ. It's hard to say who's spinning the tale. Caught the Ngannou bout?"

Chisora: "Sure did."

Krassyuk: "And Fury took the day?"

Chisora: "Absolutely. He clinched it."

Krassyuk: "My thoughts exactly. He nailed it – more power punches, sharper jabs – no clue why there's grumbling". 

Chisora: Are we looking at February, then?"

Krassyuk: "Looks that way."

Chisora: "Any talk of a lawsuit?"

Krassyuk: "To push Tyson into what, exactly?"

Chisora: "You've seen Tyson's pre-Ngannou talk? 'If Usyk bails in December, it's court time.'"

Krassyuk: "Tyson's a 'Random Thought Generator,' no? Take his words with a grain of salt, with all due respect."

Chisora: "Love the man, but can't vouch for his every musing. This clash is a go?"

Krassyuk: "I'm not the guarantee god, mate."

Chisora: "But no last-minute 'Usyk's under the weather' excuses, right?"

Krassyuk: "He's prepping. That's my solid promise."

Chisora: "That's what we like to hear."

Initially set for December 23, the Usyk-Fury absolute heavyweight title fight hit a snag post-Fury's victory over Ngannou, with a two-month postponement, per promoter Frank Warren's reveal.
