Fury wants to fight Usyk, says promoter

LONDON • Both Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury are interested in staging a potential heavyweight unification bout, Fury's promoter Frank Warren said yesterday.
Lennox Lewis was the last unified heavyweight champion but after Usyk retained his three titles against Anthony Joshua on Saturday, Fury wants a shot at the Ukrainian, who like him is also undefeated.
Warren told the BBC that "it's a fight that I think will be made".
