What should Usyk do next?

Arum is 91? Don King must be about that age too. Let's let those two go at it for a three rounder

Fury’s UK co-promoter Warren told talkSPORT Drive: “Both fighters absolutely want it.

“The managers and promoters all want it, so we’re just getting it together and working out where we’re gonna put it on – that’s really the situation.

“It’s gotta go on by March and so we’ve gotta all move quickly so over the next couple of weeks we will or we won’t get it sorted out.

“But everybody wants to do the fight, absolutely want to do it.”

Talk then turned to PPV (pay-per-view) price as Warren was asked how this is determined.

There was a fair amount of controversy when Fury’s last outing against Derek Chisora matched the UK record at £27.95 on BT Sport.

This price had only ever been seen previously for Anthony Joshua’s rematch with Usyk a few months prior.

“It depends what the structure of the deal is,” Warren explained.

“If they [the broadcaster] put up some sort of guarantees, then they’re looking to recover their guarantees, which will determine the price.

“If there isn’t a guarantee and it’s done on a share basis, then again that determines what the price will be.”

Regarding whether a potential Fury vs Usyk fight would see the price increase further, Warren said: “Oh yeah. With the four belts on the line – without discussing it with anyone, yeah, I’m sure the price will go up.

“The same as if Tyson would have fought Anthony Joshua, the price would go up. They are the two big money fights.”

Irish boxing legend Barry McGuigan talked up underdog Usyk's chances.

He told The Mirror: "Fury relies on his size and intimidation.

"But Usyk does not scare easily. The way he stared down Fury at the Chisora fight told us that.

“Usyk was too good for Joshua, who improved considerably in the second fight.

"Joshua is a decent attacking fighter too, better than Fury on the front foot.

“Fury is essentially a boxer-fighter. He rarely comes forward until he has to. Speed is the issue.

"Usyk is not only a southpaw who moves brilliantly and takes a shot, he has epic speed.

"I think this is a much tougher fight for Fury than he thinks it is. And, like Joshua, he could be in for a rude awakening.”

Both Fury and Usyck can fight who they want, when they want, for top dollar, which they both deserve. Hopefully if they ever meet it will be for a world record fee for them both and good luck to them. By comparison the rest of the division is crap.

I agree. The division is total crap. For example, AJ sucks lemons. If the division even had a Razor Ruddock, Ray Mercer, or a Tommy Morrison these days, AJ would be out of boxing by now. Called it years ago. Joshua is a joke.
