Mandatory title defences have so far scuppered its chances; the WBA most recently ordering Usyk to defend his "Super" title against challenger Daniel Dubois.
So it still remains to be seen whether this hugely anticipated fight between Fury and Usyk will ever get off the ground.
The hope appears to rest on fellow Fury representers Queensbury Promotions tying up a deal that would see Dubois face the winner of an eventual undisputed showdown between Fury-Usyk.
Vacating the belt would typically be a solution to this logistical nightmare, but that seems unlikely in this event as the idea behind Fury vs Usyk is to unify the Heavyweight division.
Elsewhere, WBO Interim Champion Joe Joyce has talked up a possible dance with Fury who's expressed his interest in facing the former British and Commonwealth title holder at some point.
