JAKARTA - The undisputed heavyweight title unification duel between Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk is scheduled to be held on May 18, 2024 in Saudi Arabia.
The schedule is a replacement plan after being originally scheduled for February 17, 2024. However, Fury suffered a serious injury to his right temple during training a week before the duel schedule, causing the fight to be postponed.
Oleksandr Usyk responded casually to the postponement of the schedule. Initially, he responded by continuing to train as usual.
However, recently he turned out to be preparing a serious clause for Fury so that the fight would not back down again.
The clause has been approved by both parties. In detail, apart from the two agreeing to lose 10 million pounds if one of them resigns, Usyk has also prepared another opponent.
Usyk coach Sergey Lapin claims Filip Hrgovic has already been lined up to replace Fury if the British boxer steps down for the second time.

"I hope Usyk gets a chance to solve the problem with Fury on May 18".
"If he keeps running, then we have a clause in the agreement to replace Fury with Filip Hrgovic."
"Hrgovic is against the reserve. So, the show will continue regardless of whether he (Fury) appears or not. This is also confirmed by Turkish His Majesty Al-Sheikh (Head of the Saudi Arabian Sports Authority)," Lapin told Fruity Slots.
As is known, Fury was hit by an accidental elbow from his Sparring colleague, Agron Samakici, two weeks ago. As a result, he had to receive about 15 stitches.
Responding to Fury's injury, Lapin further said that he believed Usyk would give him a more serious injury in the May 18, 2024 fight.
You see, the Usyk coach assessed that Tyson Fury had experienced a drastic decline.
"Say he was injured by going through a head shield and a large training gloves. Can you imagine what would happen to his head when he took a punch from Usyk with ten ounces of gloves?"
"If Fury finally dares to enter the ring on May 18, 2024, then it will be a nightmare for him. He hasn't boxed this level boxer in his entire life."
"Ngannou exposes Fury as he is. A fighter with too far distance, a fighter who has had too many duels."
"A fighter who is now experiencing a drastic decline has been greatly disturbed by his compatriots," Lapin said again.
