Tyson Fury Eyes Replacement Fighter as Usyk’s Promoter Expresses Doubts

Tyson Fury may have to step aside from his highly anticipated showdown with Oleksandr Usyk. Amidst concerns, Croatian heavyweight Filip Hrgovic has been lined up as a potential replacement. Usyk’s promoter, Alex Krassyuk, has voiced skepticism about the rematch, citing Fury’s history of postponing the fight. The undisputed heavyweight clash, originally scheduled for February, was postponed due to Fury’s undisclosed injury. The boxers are now expected to face off on May 18 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with both parties facing a £10 million penalty if they withdraw.
