‘Usyk’s has an obligation to fight Fury’

WROCLAW. — Oleksandr Usyk has an “obligation” to face Tyson Fury in an undisputed heavyweight title fight, the Ukrainian’s promoter says.

Unified champion Usyk, 36, defends his WBA (Super), WBO and IBF titles against Briton Daniel Dubois on Saturday.

Talks for a historic fight against Britain’s WBC champion Fury broke down earlier this year.

“It’s our obligation to deliver this fight,” Usyk’s promoter Alexander Krassyuk said.

“The whole world wants to see this fight. Not just ourselves or people involved in boxing, but the whole world.

“People who know nothing about boxing would love to see the heavyweight undisputed fight for the four belts for the first time in the four-belt era.

“I can promise you and promise all the fans around the world that I will do everything that can depend on me to make this fight happen.” — BBC Sport
