Promoter Oleksandr Krasiuk said that the working date of the fight between Usyk and Fury is February 18. Another promoter, Frank Warren, said that the Ukrainian will be Fury's next opponent after the Briton's fight with Derek Chisora, which is scheduled for December 3.

This same thesis was confirmed by Tyson himself, who declared his readiness to fight with the Ukrainian after the fight with Derek. In addition, the Gypsy King announced three fights for 2023.

According to promoter Bob Arum, the fight between Usyk and Fury will take place in the last week of February or the first week of March. Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates can host the event.
