TYSON FURY has refused to confirm whether his slated fight with Oleksandr Usyk will go ahead in December.<\/p>\n

It had been thought that the two have agreed to fight on December 23 in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

But Fury's shambolic performance against MMA star Francis Ngannou has thrown that date into doubt.<\/p>\n

Ngannou knocked Fury down in the third round and inflicted heavy bruising and a cut to the face of the champion over the ten rounds.<\/p>\n

Fury struggled to land any meaningful punches as he looked to keep the MMA heavyweight at range.<\/p>\n

Throughout the fight, Ngannou looked to be the more dominant and many were left shocked by the result that had Fury winning by a 2-1 split decision.<\/p>\n

After the bout, Fury refused to commit to a date.<\/p>\n

Presenter Josh Denzel asked Fury and promoter Frank Warren whether the fight on December 23 would still be happening.<\/p>\n

Warren interjected to diplomatically say: "He's gonna rest up, that's what's gonna happen next and then he's gonna make a decision of what he wants to do because he's the boss."<\/p>\n

A cagey Fury then said: "Listen, I'm gonna go home, I've been in training camp now for 12 weeks. I've got a long tough old camp in. I'm gonna go home, take a long hard rest and then we'll see what's next for us."<\/p>\n

Usyk was later jettisoned into the ring and went face to face with Fury.<\/p>\n

Fury was more buoyant by the time the two squared up and said: "Listen, it's been going on a long time. We were supposed to fight in April at Wembley. It never happened. Let's do the fight over here [Saudi Arabia]. <\/p>\n

"His excellency Turki Al-Sheikh is going to put the fight on for all the belts, the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world. Let's go my brother, let's go."<\/p>\n

Usyk put it more simply, and said: "Let's go."<\/p>\n

Denzel then put it simply and said: "Will the fight be on December 23? It's been touted across the boxing world. Will we see it on that date?"<\/p>\n

Fury replied: "Listen it's not up to me, I'm a fighter and he's a fighter. I'm sure we could go now. Let's go now if you want!"<\/p>\n

Denzel then turned to Usyk and said: "Can we agree 23rd of December?"<\/p>\n

A slightly confused Usyk replied: "Oui."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Frank Warren interjected to say: "He speaks perfect English! Don't you worry about that."<\/p>\n

After Usyk said he wanted the fight again, Denzel asked Warren if the fight would happen.<\/p>\n

Warren poured cold water on the speculation and said no decision coudl be made until a cut on Fury's head was loooked at.<\/p>\n

He added: "I don't think the date will be announced yet. I don't, in my opinion, that's where we go. <\/p>\n

"Tyson's got a cut there, so there's no good saying a date whilst he's got a cut on the top of his head. But this fight is on. It's the biggest fight in boxing."<\/p>\n
