Frank Warren is certain that Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will square off in a highly anticipated unification fight.
Following Usyk’s points victory over Joshua in Jeddah on Saturday night, Fury posted on social media to say he would adore the opportunity to compete against the WBA Super, WBO, IBF, and Ring Magazine world heavyweight champion.
That would imply that the Gypsy King, who has been given till Friday to decide on his destiny, will inform the WBC that he does not intend to give up their championship.
And Warren, the 34-year-promoter old’s in the UK, is convinced that the highly anticipated fight can be signed and sealed with the least amount of controversy
Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: “There were talks before the [AJ] fight and Tyson had to make his mind up.
“But he’s made his mind up and he wants the fight. Usyk wants the fight and we’ve got to work out a way to make it happen.
“They both know the fight’s worth a lot of money. So it’s whether it’s going to go back to Saudi or somewhere else.
“But there’s no problem in making the fight — both camps get on very well with each other.”
Fury relinquished the Ring title and announced his retirement in the build-up to the Usyk-Joshua rematch.
But it appears his time away from the spotlight will be shortlived and Warren firmly believes his man has what it takes to dethrone Usyk.
Asked how Fury would beat the Ukrainian, he said: “Being Tyson Fury!”
Speaking last week, Fury’s US promoter Bob Arum also suggested the WBC champion would return.
The Top Rank supremo said: “Once this fight is over we’re going to put together a total unification match between the winner and Tyson.
“If Usyk wins the fight, which I expect, that will be quite easy to do because we’re very close to his people. They’re the same people who manage Vasyl Lomachenko, who fights for us.”
