WBO mandatory challenger Oleksandr Usyk has effectively been stuck in limbo since his October victory over Dereck Chisora. While the expectation was that he’d fight Joe Joyce while champion Anthony Joshua unified against Tyson Fury, the long quest to actually finalize Fury-Joshua kept Usyk-Joyce from ever coming to fruition either.
Bob Arum recently claimed that they’d set aside July 24th for the potential Fury-Wilder trilogy match, so the timing works out.
Thanks to the WBO’s rules regarding champions moving up in weight, Usyk (18-0, 13 KO) automatically became mandatory challenger after vacating the last of his cruiserweight titles in 2019. Between Joshua’s (24-1, 22 KO) duology with Andy Ruiz Jr, the presence of IBF mandatory Kubrat Pulev, and Usyk’s own injury woes, the fight never quite materialized.

For a number of months now, fans were unsure what to believe. Seemingly every week, promoter Eddie Hearn would announce that a showdown between unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and WBC/Ring Magazine titlist, Tyson Fury, was signed, sealed and delivered.
Yet, no matter how confident Hearn appeared to be, neither Joshua nor Fury would openly admit that their contest was a done deal. That is, until now.
“I have got some massive news,” said Fury on his Twitter account. “I have just got off the phone with Prince Khalid of Saudi Arabia and he told me this fight is 100 percent on August 14.”
