Usyk: "I Believe There's a 70 Percent Chance the Fight with Tyson Will Happen"

The holder of the WBO, WBA, IBO, and IBF heavyweight titles (over 90.7 kg), Oleksandr Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs), evaluated the likelihood of his fight against WBC champion Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) taking place on May 18th in an interview with Sky Sports.

"God has a plan. I don't know the probability of this fight happening. I believe it will happen. Not 100%, more like 70%. But sooner or later, this fight will take place," said Oleksandr.

The bout for the undisputed heavyweight title between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury was moved from February 17th to May 18th due to a cut the Briton received during sparring. The event will be hosted in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
