The likely venue for the Usyk-Fury fight has been named

There is a strong likelihood that the fight between WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) and WBA, WBO, and IBF title holder Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) will be held in England.

This was reported by talkSPORT.com editor Michael Benson.

"The fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk is now more likely to take place in England than in Saudi Arabia, if at all. It has been claimed that there is still "a long way to go" to reach an agreement that satisfies both boxers financially," said Benson.

Earlier reports stated that the Usyk-Fury fight was scheduled to take place on the last Saturday of April, but an official announcement regarding the bout is still pending.
