However, Usyk will have to face the former long-reigning WBC champion in a second consecutive Saudi bout in December.

With a second consecutive win over Fury, Usyk will be out of the heavyweight division in just five years.

“Usyak, I’m coming for you! Get ready for the gypsy king!

“The path to salvation is entirely mine.

“I know what I have to do, I have seen my shortcomings and I believe I am indispensable.”
