JAKARTA British heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury boasted that he would destroy Oleksandr Usyk in just four rounds.
The duel between Gypsy King and Usyk to win the true world champion is now close to reality.
Fury was even said to have canceled retirement to make the fight happen after Usyk won over Anthony Joshua on August 21.
"I'm sure I'll destroy it in four rounds, Gypsy King said so," he recently said in a post on Instagram.
Tyson Fury is reportedly very motivated to fight Usyk. Moreover, the two have never met in the ring before.
If the duel is realized, Fury will risk a record of 32 wins and one draw from the 33 professional fights he has lived.
In several reports, Saudi Arabia is reportedly willing to host the mega-fight. They are ready whenever between December this year or February next year.
Apart from Saudi Arabia, other countries such as the United Arab Emirates are also likely interested in hosting. However, there are other options such as Las Vegas, England, Qatar or the United Arab Emirates.
However, those who like this fight will be awaited by many boxing fans around the world. The reason is, both of them are equally unbeaten as professionals.
Fury still holds the WBC title even though he announced his retirement last week. Meanwhile, Usyk will risk the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight belts.
It was the division's first undisputed fight since Lennox Lewis held the title in 1999.
