Fury and Usyk's camps are locked in negotiations with one another to make this colossal bout a reality on April 29, 2023, at Wembley Stadium.
Much has been made about the publicity of their offers, which included the Gypsy King sharing a 70/30 purse split in his favour. Unexpectedly, Usyk accepted these terms despite previously agreeing a 50/50 deal.

But Frank Warren tweeted as recently as Sunday March 19, 2023, that "bigger news was to come" hinting that their bout looks to be very much on the cards.
