JAKARTA - The heavyweight unification fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk is planned to take place in February 2023, according to a Mark Kreigel report from ESPN.

As reported by a number of media, the fight is planned to take place in the Middle East and may soon be announced on the weekend before SuperBowl, or a week later.

Fury, who in recent weeks announced his resignation, amended his decision and will face the first fight in history to determine the undisputed heavyweight champion.

In his last fight, Fury had no trouble defeating Dillian Whyte by knockout and successfully defending his WBC belt.

Meanwhile, Usyk left the Ukrainian war and began preparations for a rematch against Anthony Joshua, who he defeated with a separate decision in Saudi Arabia on August 20.

After Usyk won the fight against Joshua, Fury released a video on social media mocking the two boxers. He said it was the worst heavyweight fight he had ever seen and he was ready to beat them both in the same night.

"That's bullshit," Fury said. "It was one of the worst title fights I ever saw. I was ready to destroy them on the same night."

Both Fury and Usyk have never lost in their boxing careers. So, apart from fighting over their championship belts, both of them also risk an unbeaten record.
