A heavyweight boxer will be an immediate “firefighting solution” if the classic title unification match Tyson Fury – Usyk continues to be postponed and cannot take place on May 18.

The prospect of the world classic boxing heavyweight title unification match between Tyson Fury – Oleksandr Usyk on May 18 continuing… to be postponed cannot be ruled out. Apparently, the deep tear in Fury’s right eyelid sustained during sparring practice earlier this month was quite serious.

Fury’s medical expert and former coach both admitted that “the British puncher needs about 3 months of treatment for the wound to truly heal before he can fight Usyk”. However, from now until May 18, there are less than 90 days.

The classic title unification match Fury – Usyk is still at risk of being postponed again…

Before the match to find the absolute world heavyweight boxing champion after a quarter of a century was scheduled for February 17, the organization plan had to be shelved once because of Tyson Fury.

The Fury – Usyk match should have taken place at the famous boxing event before Christmas last year. But because Fury was punched by former UFC king Ngannou and had a black eye, consuming too much physical strength in 10 rounds at the end of October, the title unification match was moved to earlier this year and now to early summer.

Worse, the prospect of Fury being able to fight Usyk next May is still a big question mark, even though the representative of host country Saudi Arabia has announced the clause “any boxer quits on May 18.” , for whatever reason, will be fined $10 million.”

Therefore, it is understandable that, to avoid another risk, the organizers have planned to arrange a quality heavyweight ready to fight in case Fury continues to “play tricks”, or Usyk cannot put on the gloves. up the ring.

“I hope Usyk will have the opportunity to settle the match with Fury on May 18. But if Fury continues to run away like this, we also have an alternative plan,” said Sergey Lapin, head of the team. – Usyk’s training team confirmed when interviewed by British Boxing News.

“Filip Hrgovic is the backup plan and the exciting event on May 18 will still take place whether Fury attends or not. Mr. Turki Al Sheikh (head of the Saudi Arabia Entertainment Department, the organizer) event) confirmed this”.

Heavyweight boxer Filip Hrgovic is ready to “interrupt” the classic title unification match if Fury or even Usyk give up on May 18.

The 32-year-old Croatian boxer, Hrgovic, is not a stranger but is the opponent who is in position to challenge the IBF championship belt that Usyk holds.

While in the prime of his career, Hrgovic just knocked out Mark de Mori right in the middle of the first round of the fight in the famous boxing event “Day of Reckoning” before Christmas last year, also in Saudi Arabia.

That victory helped Hrgovic continue to extend his winning streak since entering the professional boxing ring to 17. In particular, it was very impressive that Hrgovic had 14 knockout wins.

Hrgovic, at the age of 32, with an undefeated record, is considered to have great potentialto dominate world heavyweight boxing in the near future.

Obviously, if Hrgovic fights, he will be a very quality opponent for Usyk. In fact, Hrgovic is also looking for a “life-changing match” when targeting former world champion Anthony Joshua. So, more than anyone else, Hrgovic must really want the Fury – Usyk belt unification match… to continue to break the odds to have a chance to step into the glory of glory.
